That 90's Look

Trying to only use parts that give the truck that 90's look. I'm open to suggestions.

Since I bought it a few years ago most of the changes have been cosmetic: Roll bar, KC lights, nerf bars, CB, etc. But I've kept it well-maintained at the local mechanic. Thoughts on things I could do to make it all the more period-correct? What were trends on pickups like this in the 90's?

When I think 90's style truck mawdz, I think bug deflectors, cab visors, tail light covers, window louvers, and stickers on the backglass of "AIN'T SKEERED" and/or Calvin peeing on something.

Any fluorescent sticker in cursive writing on your back window.

Chrome rock guard protectors.

Chrome bed caps.

Daimond plated anything.

I'd love to find some wheels like that. Been peeping Craigslist because I'm hesitant to purchase them new. So far no dice.

Digging the bug deflector. Did those things really deflect many bugs? I dunno. And the window louvers... no way! I haven't seen those in forever. I don't think I could get my hands on louvers if I wanted to.

Wasn't that an "Ultra" sticker in hot pink cursive?!

Hell I can’t remember, but I remember the “local motion” and “cruisin” BUT that might be late 80’s I’m not sure

Never had a bug deflector myself and I've always wondered if they work. But even if I find out that they don't, I'd still put one on muhtruck to get some more of that authentic 90's hotboi flare.
