What’s your favourite (non-tailgate damper) mod you’ve done, for under $100?

$100USD, right?
I am going with either the full LED upgrade for Lariat exterior (front torn signals, smoked front markers, clear sequential repeaters, puddle lights, license plate lights).
OR the RedTek mirror auto fold module.

cheap sleazy china piaa knock off amber flood lights on the front bumper. I think they were 25 on amazon and they work stupid good. the color really helps at night. i assumed they would not last or would fog up or rattle apart. i beat them submerged them and leave them on hours at a time and still going. a few months back i ordered a set of rigid d amber pods to replace them thinking the spendy ones would be amazing if the cheap ones were so good. sent the rigids back, the knock offs are brighter and wider beam.

I already had the OBD2 cable and ForScan, got it for use on the RS. I used points for the sunshade and keypad (w/install), so those were $0, but did use over $200 worth of points does that still count as <$100. I got the molded splash guards for under $100, before taxes.

WeatherTech mats, >$100. Tonneau cover >$100.

...the knock offs are brighter and wider beam.
So, off-road use only then.

yes, off road and in the sticks. on the street the factory fogs with amber led upgrades are enough.

Oh yeah that too, and the RedTek Window Module. Both were good gets.

I don't now about you guys increasing your license plate light though. What good can come from making it more noticeable or easier to read? ;)

Since the tgd is out, I'd have to go with the ODB2 cable and forscan. Allowed me to do all kinds of mods.

I have the window module. Not a fan. When using the wand wash, the doors are always locking/unlocking. More than once, this has triggered the feature to roll the windows down. I’ve also managed to roll them down twice while fumbling with the remote start…. I plan to disable the feature to roll down. Really just care about the one-touch, and the auto close is neat.

Also, for the plate lights - I didn’t get brighter ones, just white. I really want to highlight the dealership license plate trim!

I just hate giving witnesses any help in identifying me. I took the driver's side light out so it's only half lit, ha ha.

......I'm not sorry officer, it was black, on black with black trim and detail. I couldn't really make out the make, model, or plate, but I think it was a pick-up. Maybe a Tacoma?....

That's why I have a smoked plastic cover on my plate. It's getting cloudy an even harder to see through so I should replace it.

$100 for the CarSales add; had my 19 XLT 2.0 TT 10 Sp for less than 12 month.
After 2 Rangers 2012 (6month) and 2019, back to my second Amarok.
