Question New Silverado owner - a few questions!

Well, I had the pleasure of buying my first truck on Friday. We weren't planning on getting one until about April, but my husband's uncle happened to be selling his, and we know he takes excellent care of all his vehicles. It only had 17,600 miles on it, and he kept it in a shed, never outside.
Here's the pics we have so far:



You'll have to bear with me here, I never learned much about cars when I was younger, I've had to learn everything in the past few years, so there's a lot I don't know

Here's what I'd basically like to do with it:
Grill guard
Taillight guards
Larger tires (not yet, we're waiting until these hit their limit, around 40,000 miles)
Nerfbars (when we get the larger tires)
Rollbar (maybe - not sure yet)
Bed rails
Bug shield
Bowtie decal in the back window
Bowtie hitch cover
Fix the CB antenna (he left us his CB because he said it doesn't work great, but it might just be the antenna going bad. We'll see if fixing that works)
There's probably more I've forgotten about...

I just pretty much want to snazz it up a bit. I really don't know where to start though - what brands are good, which ones to stay away from, which order I should do things in, where I should get it done (or if I can do it myself - I have friends who are good with cars), where I should order parts from (or can I pick certain things up at, say, AutoZone), things like that.

So, any help you all could give me would be great. I really appreciate it!
