Cleared 95 tail lights: $0 (didn't install the diffuser thing)
Color matched sidemarkers: $20
Blacked out chrome trim: $6
Chrome Lexus license plate surround: $20
JL 250/1 amplifier: $0 (found it hidden in the trunk a few weeks after I purchased the car)
Cheap 10" Sony Xplod subwoofer: $0 (found it lying around at my dad's shop)
Total: $46
I did the 9006 to 9005 conversion too, but I took those out to install real HIDs. If I included that with the other "mods" I did, it'd come out to be more than $100. I paid almost half of what I paid for HIDs for Sylvania Silverstars for the headlights and foglights (~$80, I got the HIDs for $200 shipped).

I just thought of three more outstanding mods for under $100 and here they are.....1 First for $25 I got the lumbar foam built up and now the long drives are as comfortable as ever as apposed to the stock blow up lumbar...Lower back feels like a million bucks...

Lastly installed all steel braided hoses which does wonders for engine dress up, hose protection that should last forever according to the manufactures claims...They also mention something about insulation benifits....ANyway, entire set $80 off Ebay and Kragen autoparts...Warning - don't get SPECTURE steel braided hoses they are the worst....

Xir- where did you order you sway bushing set from?
