Hey ya'll. The idea behind this thread is that you can post up any and all mods you have done, for under $100. This way, they are all in one spot, when users search "Cheap Mods" this will be one of the first things on the list.
Perhaps we can sticky it?
The only rules are:
-If you list a mod, you have to have done it and have real-world experience with the results.
-Either provide search criteria or provide a link to a How-To if there is one available.
My contributions to this list are:
-HID's ($50 shipped used, but have seen kits for under $100)
-Breather Filter mod: $20
-Mopar Mud Flaps: $100
-K&N Drop-In Air Filter: $50
-Front Window Tint (DO NOT DIY): $100
-In-Channel Window Visor's: $60
These! The Square ones with one rounded corner. No more blind spots, and great for backing into tight places. $3 each from Walmart. Everyone should have a pair.
Next mod will be front window tint. Agreed about getting it professionally done. I tried DIY window tint on my Tempo back in high school....disaster. The pros earn every penny.

Stubby antenna, debadge, tailgate damper, painting grilles, mirrors etc. body color, painting the engine cover and other underhood components and everything stated above. That's about it.
Painting interior trim pieces for me. It totally transforms the interior of the truck and definitely makes it feel unique. With good prep, adhesion promotor, and light coats, you can make any interior piece look good. I'm a big fan of union a metal flake, metallic, sparkly, ect type color matched paint myself.
I don't remember the prices on these mods(I try to forget as soon as I buy them so that I don't get depressed) but I know they were all under a 100.
