Appearance upgrade question?

Haven't found a whole lot of appearance upgrades on a budget.. Have rims and tires I got for cheap how bout some loud pipe ideas, forgot to mention it is an 88 ford xlt hd 460 4x4.. very proud of it it's been my dream truck for a while but maybe a better grill.. Possible projector headlight upgrades...

Personally, I like the stock grill--but if you don't, custom grills can be found easily enough. I'm sure at least one parts vendor carries the projection headlights, too. If you can't find an exhaust that's to your liking, a good exhaust shop can build one for you. (I like the sound of Flowmasters myself.)

There are small things you can do.
Most is custom.
