What is the cheapest mod you've done to your car?
Seriously - I'm sure some people will post some jokes regarding what they've done but I think we have some clever people on this board.
I'm always trying to improve my G in any way so I'd like to know what some people have done to improve their car but haven't spent much doing it either interior or exterior.

I added a $0.10 piece of foam between my Z-Tube and my A/C line. This is a modification, right?

Made my own grounding kit... ~$30?
Permanently wired my radar detector.. cost of detector + ~$2.
Other than that, almost everything I've done is audio/video related, so that probably doesn't apply to your question.

Re: What is the cheapest mod you've done to your car?
What exactly is the process for this? Did you actually take off the front dash just to put in the LED?

Re: What is the cheapest mod you've done to your car?
Interesting thread topic.
Smoked OEM sidemarker lights (looks gray in the daytime, still lights up orange at night) $5 for spray paint
Slightly ported throttle body opening, with chamber polished, then port matched to plenum $5 for dremel bit
Polished Crawford V5 (I ordered it without powdercoating, so I could polish it to a mirror shine myself) $5 for metal polish
Polished lower plenum, slight port on intake runner openings, portmatched to intake manifold $5 for more dremel bits
Polished intake manifold runners $5 same stuff
Cleared out amber in headlight $0
There's a lot you can do for under $50 if you do it yourself. If I had the time/expertise to pull off the heads, I would have polished the intake and exhaust ports.
