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)

That console looks homemade so if that's the look you're going for, it worked.

The man made it himself. Good for him. If you don't like it, fine. No need to take shots at him. We all have different tastes and abilities.
