New Owner 2008 HL Limited

Well, I've been on this forum for some time now and have been doing a lot of researching and reviewing of threads. My wife and I finally pulled the trigger and picked up a fully loaded Silver 2008 HL Limited with 31k. I am not aware of a single option this car doesn't have. We pick it up this week and can't wait to start putting some miles on it. I'm really not sure what kind of mods I will be looking to add. So far, matching window tint for the front driver/passenger windows, a hitch mount step and possibly a bull bar. Does anyone have some favorite websites they use for aftermarket parts? Obviously I have Googled and found sites on my own, but am curious as to some peoples favorites.

Cheers!

You read my mind! Your review on the reflector/LED mod was one of the first I read on this board. The install seems pretty straight forward. If you have a chance, would you send me some additional pictures of your finished product? You can just IM me if you want.

As for the nav override...I'm not sure if I'll end up doing this. I really don't think I need to watch DVD's while I drive.
