So I've bought a truck, a Mitsubishi Triton GLS (Top of the line)

I want all of your help to maximise the sleekness of this car, and make it look sweet.
What would you do?

This is the car:

Lower it, tint all your windows, get your fender flares painted to match the body, get rid of the chrome handles and replace with black handles and debadge it. It would look sleek, clean, and sporty. Simple thing to make it your own and not cost an arm or a leg. Most expensive would be lowering it, then the paint , then windows.

If you can find some nice offroad wheels to match the wheel wells, you could raise it instead of lowering it. There are different ways to do it. Up to you.

Lower it, or raise it. Still undecided. Tint all windows, good idea though currently I am happy with them, once I have a bit more of a nest egg I will look into it. The fender flares are going to stay the same for a while, not in a rush to paint them because getting cars/trucks professionally painted doesn't come cheap. I actually just ordered new chrome handles, I never though about black. Not sure about debadging, if you could photoshop or just do a little rough edit of the truck without them that would be great.

They actually are offroad wheels, they came with the car. None of the photos really justify them, in the morning (it's 1am) I will try and get a good shot of them.
Also, with the raising or lowering both are hefty prices and I will consider both but am unsure at the moment.

Thank you both.

Nice NSW number plants

I would get it repainted (Red) and put some off-road wheels on it. That's what I would do but you can do want you want to do because it's your car not mine.
I'm more into imports so yeah :p

I don't use photoshop so I can't give you a visual. Since your badges are not frenched in it would be smooth looking after they were removed. A couple of tricks to do that are really easy and you don't need to buy anything to take them off. If you don't own a heat gun you can use a hair dryer to warm the area so the double sided tape is easier to remove but not to hot where as to make the adhesive gooey . Then take dental floss and get it behind the emblem and work it through to " cut " the bond because trying to do it by hand, if not done before, has the chance of breaking and or distorting the word.

I just pulled up a quick video to show you how .
I've done this many times with cars my shop but I have all the proper materials.

I've googled your make and model looking for debadged pic but I couldn't find any. Maybe there's a forum for your truck that you could post a
Request of a pic.

I would definitly lift it and put bigger off-road tires on it. Plasti dip the rims black and you're set. The truck would look so much better.

I've added a picture of the wheels to the post. I could go bigger, but am happy with them for now.
