welcome to the forum.
it kinda matters what your personal tastes are. are you looking for clean and subtle, or chromy flashy, or tuff and trucky...?
i painted my eb trim black and replaced the chrome wheels with black teflon wheels and slightly bigger 'rugged' looking tires in order to get her looking a bit more to my personal liking (and upgrade from the horrid conticrap tires she had on her).

Anyway, I prefer a smooth look, but on the tough side. Probably going to add a bit of a stereo, nice cat-back,K&N Filter, and some nice wheels and slightly larger tires. Possibly a 31 or 31" tall AT's as I am not expecting to do any real wheeling with this thing, but you never know when you might need to cross a muddy field. Big thing is, this is going to tow my 20' Sea Ray for me.

Depending on your engine size and axle ratio you will want to watch the overall hight of the tires you end up. This can affect how well you can pull your boat, that is depending on the weight of the boat. As you can see below my signature I am one who has gone a little crazy with the mods.
