Help with my first mod list!
here's a list of minor mods I want to get out of the way. As of now it is victory red w/ chrome, i want it to be red/red or red/black
-red door handles
-black side mirror covers
-plain black grille
-tailgate bowtie is a chrome strip I'd either like to take it off completely or just a red/black strip
-smoke light covers? I don't know much about them, Ive seen film to cover the current ones, is this the best idea?
-I read about a Gforce card that gives 4.8 mpg adds a little HP, is it worth it? it seems so but any info?
-lastly, inside the panel that houses the window switches, can that be replaced? upgraded so that the little storage has a lid?
Oh...also the best place to buy/search for these parts that anyone has found?
Also any advice or suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Hi.
The GForce thing is junk. Type GForce chip in Google and see what it says. Their was a youtube video of a guy lighting his on fire, and they don't honor their guarantee.

If you go to your local auto parts /paint store they can mix your ed and put in a spray can, Most will have a color scanner camera they place on your car and it adjust the paint code to match your faded paint!
I have Imperial Blue and was going to go chrome handles but now like the look of the painted handles,,,,,,, Also Try E Bay for used Red handles and you may be able to sell your chrome ones and recover a few $$$ Just a thought! PIcs will be a must before and after :)
I had good luck finding some tings on this site , has salvage yards all over the US

Black used and new mirrors on E Bay as well
Good luck

Autozone has Duplicolor for the red. Take in your paint code. 
As far as the Window Switches go... lol
