1) EZ-Down tailgate strut/damper
2) 2x Megabrite Wireless Motion Sensor Battery-Powered Undercabinet LED lights to illuminate my bed at night (affixed to my Bedrug with Scotch "All-Weather" fasteners), per recommendation from another member on here.

Can you give me a bit more detail on how you did this. I want to do this on my truck only with red.
Back on topic...
Painted tails (remove clear edges) about $20; 1 bottle of black touchup paint from auto store($8), 3 small tubes of black silicone ($4 each); $30 if you buy automotive grade masking tape.
Painted brake calibers for right at about $50; 1 G2 brake caliper painting kit (epoxy paint) for $40ish dollars, some extra brake cleaner $5-$6 (I went through the can included in the kit pretty quick), and $5-$6 for a set of nylon craft brushes from Wally World (the brush in the kit is crap)

I think the best mod I did for under $50 is I took the mirror turn signal mod one step further and made it a turn signal / running light. More on this at this thread. Start reading at post #116.
