Wow, I painted my mirror caps for about $15, that included sand paper, paint and clear coat.

I just sanded them down. Put on three coats of primer and three coats of color and five coats of clear. Then wet sanded them and buffed to a shine.

I love the 2x6 in the bed, i went with a 2x8. It's a bit heavy, makes you really think if you need to remove it or not...

I think I'm gonna do this this weekend.

Blue leds in my footwells for about $15. Running lights and turn signals in the mirror reflector for about $45 plus extra wire I had. Could say it cost me more cause I need to replace that mirror because I broke the tabs on the back A few others that I can't think of
