$50 and under modifications

Alexantics- sadly no, that would be the coolest thing in the world if they were. I did the ceiling lights with some colored film slipped between the bulb and light fixture. I think bc-Chris did the same.

RavenKeeper-it was super easy and cheap to do and it is what I get the most compliments about so you should definitely

Let me correct my last, it has been on my list since about the first of the year.

But yeah, definitely will, hopefully, before I go to San Diego next month. I have to GET OUT OF THIS DESERT and get one last beach trip in before it starts getting cold again.

Last night I wrapped the front Bowtie emblem in Carbon Fiber. It was a 2' x5' roll for $20 on amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MA6PZER/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Last week, I tried to add a diode to get my puddle lights on with my interiors, Pin 1 -> Pin 8 on the grey plug on BCM. Closed the doors, locked it, watched the interiors dim out, and the puddles stayed on. Asked around, did some digging, and everything/everyone said it should have worked perfectly. SO, today, I tried it again......

WORKED AS ADVERTISED!!!!!!!

Glad this worked... I scratched my head for a couple of hours last night going over Upfitter pages. Lol.

For me wireless charging and garage door opener remote in the console the best 2 affordable modifications i think you can do under $50. I like the Plasi Dipe bowties so that is a must.

here are some of the links to the how to that i used.

Do you have pics of the garage door opener install? How well does it work and do you have links for where you bought it?

I like it...it looks like a clean install. I guess I'll be looking into adding this as well now lol

Finally went for it and plastidipped the taillights, 3rd brake, and bowties for ~$12. Never used plastidip before and am a horrible painter, but it was cake. I previously used decal overlays on the bowties, but they weren't holding up in this florida heat. The taillights are too bright red my taste so i wanted just a little darker, but still safe ( Not trying to have someone slam into me because they cant see them illuminated). Taillights are 1 layer of black and 3 of glossifier. 2 coats of the black makes it solid black so i stuck with 1. its has that somewhat spotty spray paint 1st coat look, but i can live with it. The bowties are 3 layers black and 3 glossifier and look so much better than the vinyl overlays. I don't have any complaints yet.

So about $22 for the cord and $20 for the mount.

There's a guy nearby me who's willing to trade a black powder coated front and rear bumper for my chrome set so I decided to test out a black bumper by plastidipping my chrome one. Only did the front for now. His will have the fog light cut outs, which mine do not.
