$60-$100 Mod any ideas?
I was just wondering if you guys have any ideas of a cheap mod. I currently have a cobra cb, k&n filter, and hellas. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Check out the tech section!
First things that come to mind:
Rear differential breather extension
Taurus fan install (Ebay)
Aftermarket horns
Mother's auto detailing clay and instant-shine spray combo (if you're into that kind of thing)
Headlight bulbs (Sylvania or Phillips or something)
Etc
Etc
Etc
Actually... I think everything up there combined comes out to a little over $120?

How cheezy do you want to go?
Tape, of any type, can be used for pin striping.
Extra Testers paint left over from doing toy models can do special custom work.
Q-tips are reasonably effective "free" paint brushes.
Cheap spray cans can do all kinds of neat things. From painting the wheels black to adding flames. Let your imagination run wild.
Gutter downspouts are cheap ways to make sidepipes. Since it's a truck you may want to duct tape or pop rivet them upright in the front of the bed to simulate stacks.
Cardboard shoe boxes taped to the hood to look like a scoop.
Crayons to color the raised letters on your tires.
Paint eyes on your headlights.
Cardboard teeth in the grill.
Toilet paper rolls taped under the bumper to simulate driving lights. Stick a burned out light bulb in one to make it look like one of the high intensity types with the cool rounded lens.
Cover the letters TO and TA on the tailgate so your truck can also say "YO".
Use electrical tape to make neat patterns on the tail light lenses.
Disconnect a sparkplug to give your car that powerfull rumble and shake at idle.
Poke a hole in the muffler to enhance noise.
Remove the mirrors from the doors and put them anywhere else.
Cardboard fender flares.
Piece of garden hose stuck over the antenna.
Paint your wiper blades yellow.
Paint pieces of your dashboard different colors.
Take switches off of broken kitchen appliances and such and mount them on the dashboard. They don't need to be connected to anything.
Write "Nos" on the tailgate.
Write "type R" on the fenders.
Paint a juice can black and red, twist tie it to the tailpipe.
There's more, but that's a few off the top of my head. Total cost for all the above? $20 or so.
