home made mods ive done less than 50$ total
i am cheap... I dont like to spend money, here is what i have done to spend less than 5 bucks for each mod.
1) i redid the door pieces and instead of beige on beige i used changed it to black vinyl on beige. Also did the side airbag like this (probably not the best idea though) then i painted all the little doo-hickeys like the trim pieces black. Its been about a year and for the most part its held up, there are a few scratches on the paint that i didnt prime first, but other than that no worries.
2) ok this is kinda ghetto i know. i went to lowes and bought a gutter cover, you know it is plastic and has the lattice pattern. I cut that out with scissors and put that where the air intake on the bumper is, you know what i am talking about, where the liscense plate is.
3) rewired my foglights so they come on w/o headlights
4) rewired my brake lights so they are orange and red (crazy)
5) destroyed my alarm system somehow (rule of thumb: if connecting 2 wires is cool, in NO WAY is connecting 5 wires going to be cooler)
6) spray painted my bumper lights white... looks ok while i am waiting to get a job so i can afford the actual clears.
7) only have one windshield wiper
