Your Favorite mods under $75

So I've got the color matched spoiler, the SHR louvers, LCR's and the GT500 exhaust installed.
The problem is... I'm out of mod money... but still have the desire to do something. I just need some ideas so tell me what you've done. Besides a car wash.

So I will start with my favorite value modification.


Tinting the white thread on my seats with green fabric pens. Cost under $20

Shorty antenna. I got "The Stubby" and it's perfect.

Don't know if you can get them for under $75 but hood struts are a must have item. I got the Redline no drill struts and I love them. Got rid of that ugly prop rod.

Your 2014 came with them I think but the GT500 mud guards are a nice add on for 2010-12.

I got the redline hood struts for $90 at CJpony parts, slightly over the $75 limit.

all of the "good" stations are full of static 80% of the time. Oh well, it looks good though hahahahahahah!

I use Songza or Slacker radio and just stream from my phone anyway.

Hmm, I haven't had a problem with mine. But I also listen to satellite radio most of the time, so I don't listen to regular radio as much. It does streamline the back of the car a little.

I never really listened to FM either. i have 6GB a month of data on my phone. streaming audio isn't an issue for me. I actually noticed it thanks to the wife. she likes to tune in and found out when she flipped her her programmed stations. stations i know used to come in clear with the stock antenna.

no biggie.

I was able to get a pair of brand new RedLine hood struts for $70 incl. shipping. I found it to be a great mod.

Well I am not really sure what type of bulbs the 197s take for the dash, but I did what I feel will be a good mod (I ordered new LED bulbs) for the SN95 I have, I ordered 4 Amber bulbs and 2 green bulbs from Super Bright LEDs.com and can't wait to get them, should be the best mod, the bulbs I got cost about $20 so I estamate that the entire dash would be no more then $40 total with shipping (assumeing my dash needs no more then 10 to 12 bulbs total)

I know the SN95 will take the #70/74?? style bulbs, and from the looks of it will be inter changeable with my Volvo S80 so I will be moving thegood bulbs from the Mustang into the volvo to replace the burnt out bulbs in the S80 while the Mustang gets the LED upgrade (gee who knew I was going to be able to use the Volvo S80 as an excuse to mod the Mustang hehehehe guess I better not tell the sig other that I am using the Volvos burnt out cluster bulbs as the excuse to get the LEDs for the mustang and then will mode the bulbs replaced into the Volvo S80...)

My first mod...$35. I got it a week before I bought my Mustang, not even knowing what color it'd be. I just knew it was gonna get a cue ball shift ****.

Lexard Nav screen shield was my favorite for my '12. Favorite for the boss was Adam's polishes machine combo and sealant. Plus a day's labor.
