Here's my bed divider. Bought a 2x10, some indoor/outdoor carpet, glue, and few hooks and clamps. Total cost was about $35. The carpet matches pretty well with the Bedrug too.

Default Aux reverse lights

$10.00 for a set of fog lights off of a Subaru (excellent quality, actual glass lenses - need to get some more of these at the JY) and a few bucks for wire and I can now actually see when backing up.

I bought a used 2010 STX recently. I think the best low cost mod by far is a mini bumper billet grill filler. The truck had a license plate holder when I got it. We don't require front license plate, and I did not like the gaps on either side of the holder. I found a nice anodized aluminum billet that matches my grill for $35 on ebay. It is really nice. Fits perfectly in the license plate holes.

Black would go unnoticed
Green would... Just no.
Blue?
Pink... I'd rock pink on a black truck
Orange looks red. Especially when dirty.

Yellow works - especially on white or black. Plus, its his truck, if he likes yellow, dammit he did yellow. Lol.

Personally if I were going to do it I would put the $ into another brand prior to painting them, but that's me.

I had a credit at AutoZone for their rewards program and so I thought i'd go pick up some car wash or something and walked out with these two things.
1: Bully brand, Ford lighted rear hitch cover for $15.00. It plugs into the trailer wiring and illuminates when you hit your brakes and is black when not activated.
2. I wanted rid of the factory flagpole, and got a 13" antenna for $8.00. It doesn't get any better or worse reception than the factory antenna. Overall, I'm pleased with the two. ddc4d
