Default Your favorite modification under $100 thread

SC brethens, what is your favorite mod under $100 bucks. You can post DIY any mods, suspension, engine mods, lighting mods, audio mods etc etc.....

If you post DIY mods, please share the details and include pictures if you can...Let's get this thread rolling! It's gonna be a good thread Fo' SHO.

I'll start it off by stating the mod, price, installation......

Daizen Sway bar bushings. $30 + shipping from TM engineering. Installation by my mechanic, pretty straightfoward install. It took a total of 20 minutes to put these suckas in. The ride quality suffered a little but the cornering ability has increased drastically. For $30 bucks, it's totally a bargain.
Be sure to grease the hell out of them.

Changing my climate lights were honestly my best mod because they match my Casablanca perfectly and it makes the center of the car look much more complete.

Cleaning your headlight lens is a mod?

My Celica steering wheel+Supra airbag cover combo.

Edit: NM, I think I like my eibachs better, got them free as a b-day gift, installed them myself, so that was free too.

Megan N1 straight thru true racing mufflers and the two stainless steel high flowing resonators to keep the noise down.... Nothing beats out staight thru mufflers and I mean nothing, maybe no exhuaust......... and has the good stainless steel looks too.......$50 for both mufflers and $45 for both resonators.. plus shipping costs - all coutesy of Ebay....Oh and all Items were shipped new and not used......Man I am giving up some gems today on this forum.....

Interior- I would have to say the wood grain dash kit $100......Again Epay ooppps Ebay .

Biggest mod rip off $500 for the front LCA Daisen bushings only, installed at TM Engineering......which are now in the garbage and buried in some land fill.....

My best mod(under $100) would have to be BFI w/K&N filter and switching from dino oil to Synthetic oil with a K&N oil filter. Great results!!

I would have to say clear corners. It makes the car so much sexier, and only costing you 10 bucks and a little bit of time, you can't lose.

My Best mods under $100 would probably be my 9006 to 9005 conversion with heavy duty wiring harness and also my Cold Air Intake . I also second the Synthetic oil (I use royal purple) and K&N oil filter.
