Default No budget mod and low budget mod

What low or no budget mod have you done?

Drilled mirrors 0$

Flipped my rearview mirror upside down. This gives you more viewing area for the windshield and still adjusts for night driving. Works great for taller drivers. 0$


Hidden garage dor remote. 0$


Drilled airbox for 1mpg gain 0$

Better windshield wipers. ( Well haven't done this yet)

Removed my backseat, more than doubling my flat-cargo capacity. :toung: Cost: $0.00

Drilled my mirrors, ala "Rubimon Mirror Mod." Used my Dremel to do it... Cost: $0.003 (for the electricity used by the battery).

Removed my cupholder's inner rubber lining, allowing large beverages to fit. Cost: $0.00

Added small round mirrors to the outside mirrors, covering blindspots... Cost: $5.00.

Added small round mirrors to the outside-most two vents, for doors-off driving: Cost: $5.00 (and they work like a charm!).

Those are all the <=$5.00 mods I can think of that I did, although there may be more..

Ordered an accessory tray from Quadratec so I can put sunglasses, etc. above the radio. Replaces the existing plastic up there. $50.

Not exactly "no" or "low" budget, but not too expensive either.
