What's the coolest thing you have done to your truck for under $100?

Just tinted my front windows (20%) and windshield (5%) with 3M colorshade (best) for less than $100 with precut pieces. What an awesome difference in outside looks and inside eye protection.
BTW, anybody install a Lund front cowl/wipers cover on the lower windshield? Pics? Link to what I'm talking about: http://www.jcwhitney.com/shadow-wipe.../p2001985.jcwx

I bought the tint on eBay from filmvantage precut and it's 3M brand Colorshade which is the best around. The install is all about patience and plenty of spraying soapy water. I won't kid you it can be tricky but I've installed before so experience is a plus. Be sure to rub gently on the tint so it doesn't stretch or you get bubbles and or a crease can form.

Installed grille

Installed cheap grille
Took stocker, reinforced it with some aluminum ( aftermarket one is heavy! Didn't want it to brake the plastic where is mounts)
Polished the clear off the grille so i can keep it chrome looking
Cut out honeycomb with cut off tool
Repainted with plastic paint, like 8 coats
Then assemble!
About 70 bucks total
What you guys think about the chrome surround? I am thinking making it black....?
