LT Dan Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Ok Gents, I'm new over here but definitely not new to cars and trucks. I wanted to start a thread for modifications and accessories under $100. I've see some cool stuff here for the "budget minded" truck owners so I wanted to see what all you guys have come up with. So far I've seen: Painted or powdercoated bow ties or debadging cheap leveling kits low budget bed lights What else do you guys have to contribute? Thanks in advance!

BEastwick Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 The only things I've done at or under 100 bucks is replace my mirror covers and door handles with chrome ones, and removed the Chevy bed Z71 stickers, but added the GMC Z71 chrome plates to the front quarter panels just like the Sierras have. I'll be adding the chrome tailgate handle and painting the bezel to match my truck. Everything else I've done has been well over 100 bucks...
glcbn Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 The only things I've done at or under 100 bucks is replace my mirror covers and door handles with chrome ones, You're telling me that with two less door handles,you paid under 1 bill?? Or are the chrome ones a lot less than painted ones. From Ebay I had to pay 230 for painted handles and covers takeoffs.

From Ebay I had to pay 230 for painted handles and covers takeoffs. For regular cab chrome handles it was 70 bucks from the parts department at my dealership. 100 for the mirror covers. You can look on Chevy's website, too. They have an accessories page that lists all the prices.
glcbn Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Well OK that explains it. I thought you got both for under 100. BTW,isn't the blue an awesome color!!
BEastwick Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Well OK that explains it. I thought you got both for under 100. BTW,isn't the blue an awesome color!! haha Yeah, I wish! This stuff isn't cheap, not even the little things. I do love this blue. It's the reason I drove 82 miles and into a neighboring state to get the truck.
