Default Any possible mods for under $100?

Well my birthday is coming up, and my girlfriend has no clue what to get me, so of course i offered up something to do with my car... but the only mods i know of are at least a couple hundred, and she's got a 100 limit for me =p... so just wondering if there was anything worthwhile out for around 100$... i did the red-outs which were cheap... but i cant think of anything other than some cleaning products (posted osmething like this in that section of the forum)

but any ideas?

being you have rims and want springs why not use the money towards springs and you pay the difference? this will compliment the rims you have and get rid of that gap along with other things

good luck and have a happy bday!

$100 is not really a lot to spend on mods. Most things will cost more than $100.

3 things comes to mind. Fog Vinyl/head light vinyl, Joez intake ($130 shipped), LED lights. Everything else will cost you more than $100.

That being said...I would say spend $50 for interior LED lights and use other $50 to buy her dinner. kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

You should tell her to spend more She got me Fab lip + Lx Mode grille for mine. I agree with the LED lights for under $100.
