I was goofing off this morning and just happened across the DIY mod for the flush mounted taillights. Then I found the front license plate screen intake mod............
I have never seen either one of these. I am thinking about the flush taillight thing, I hate the dust that gathers in the taillight openings.
Now.............. what are some other mods that you guy are doing or have seen for less than $100 and without ordering those crazy vendor kits..............
lets see em!!

Do you seriously have the cove setup as a turn signal? I've been trying to figure out a way to put turn signals in the side mirrors, but something like this may work out just as well...

I think lowering is a cheap DIY mod...all it cost is an alignment afterwards

What is this? Is it more than just an expanded intake opening (looks good BTW)??

There was a DIY on here about doing the blackout of taillights yourself. Here was the process:

1. Go to your local hobby shop and ask for Testor's #RC294 Window Tint spray ($4.95). It's in the model paint section. One can is more than enough for this project.
2. Go home and take the lenses out of your car.
3. Clean them well with denatured alcohol, then do it again.
4. Get a hair dryer (yes, like your wife uses on her hair)
5. Lay the lenses out, and plan on doing ONE AT A TIME.
6. Take the first lense, lay it on your work surface and use the hair dryer (on LOW heat) to slightly warm the lense. (this is important to help prevents runs in the paint)
7. Spray the lense with a VERY light spray first coat. This product goes on very thin, so don't use very much. Keep the can at least 12 inches away and use a wide sweeping motion. It gets darker as it dries.
8. After the first coat, use the hair dryer on LOW to gently dry the paint. It takes about two or three minutes.
I used two coats, and it came out about right for me, but one good coat may do. If you use a second coat, follow the same procedure.

Here is what I did to my wagon wheels. I went to a local graphics store and got a scrap vynl strip for cheap. These are sold as a set for like $30. I hate my wheels.

I had money to get wheels or a supercharger... I go faster now, but have stickers on my wheels. Compromise sucks.
