I'm sure it's a pretty common mod, but the elcheapo usb2. Like 6$ and a couple of bolts later and you have yourself a second usb line in for your sync. Head/tail light tint 13$. Painted chrome 6 bar grille to fx app. pkg(PTM surround with black 6 bar) 36$ for 2 cans of ingot silver spray paint,10$ for 2 cans of black spray paint. Ford vinyl overlays(By Moody Blue).Swapped out ecoboost offset plate mount 50$.Painted f150 badges red and black just like fx app. pkg. again, painted with black that I bought for the grille etc.. Also sprayed the innercooler grille black. Painted lower two tone/wheel wells/size steps, 10$ a can of black rocker guard(not really under 50$ unless you count all the cans seperately haha). Debadged the ecoboost and xtr 4x4 stickers, these trucks looks so much cleaner without them!!

Yes yes, I know. That's why I got 2 cans of ingot silver(1 for grille,1 for door handles) But with work being as busy as it has been lately(Exterior building products warehouse.. summer..huge construction boom and you get the picture) I do plan on getting them PTM real soon though! But if you have some free time, I wouldn't mind if you drove from ab to sk to do them for me. But it's really begging for my murdered out retrofitted heads from bilinvic to be done

I made a Garmin holder out of a small chopped garlic jar and a folding can coozie (the thin neoprene ones). I cleaned the jar, used double-sided tape to stick the plastic disk that came with it for the suction cup to the jar lid. I then wrapped the excess wire around the neck of the suction cup mount and slid the coozie over the mount and jar, top down (can opening at bottom, slits at top) and stuck the 12 volt end out of one of the slits in the coozie bottom to plug in the center console. The coozie hides most of the wires, but lets them and the mount stick out for the Garmin and makes a tight fit when I slide it down in the rear cup holder in the center console.
I turned the coozie inside out because it hides the writing on the coozie and the black inside looks better with my interior.
Total cost: one cup holder space...otherwise free if you don't count the cost of the garlic...
