Best Modifications under $50

Lots of post of high dollar mod’s like wheels/tires, audio/video, lifts etc. and thought it would be interesting to see those under $50, homemade or purchased. When I was a member of the F150 forum, someone had started a thread and it got pretty interesting and I thought the concept could work here too.

Share what you’ve down, if home made describe how you made it and how much you spent. Also, please show pictures. If purchased, perhaps a link to the product.

This may be the worst idea ever, but here it goes!

2-low wiring mod for Auto hubs.
Put locker on an upfitter.


I think the consensus on the last thread was that it should be mods under $100. There are A LOT of cool things between $50-100, and face it...$100 ain't much these days

MBaldo- are the cup inserts more for looks or do they help cut down on the “squeaks” when you put a cup on them? Thanks

I can't answer that as they haven't arrived just yet, but on a small road trip yesterday in the Utah mountains, my keys were sliding around and my coffee cup was rattling, so I'm thinking this will solve both issues.
