Cheap and/or free mods
Saw this thread at the 2009+ forum thought I'd start one here. Did a search and was only led to the other thread.
Cleaned some of the green off the gauges - 2 hours
Did some designs on my tails with night shades - $13
Painted the radio bezel white.- $4
Prolly going to paint the head light reflectors white - free (had leftovers from the radio bezel)
So at this point I have no job and have to income coming in. But really want to hear of all the cheap or free mods you guys have done.

It's kind of sad, but I only have completed one modfication to my truck that would be considered "cheap." However, it only applies to F-150's with the shifter on the floor. It is the infamous changing of the bulb that lights up the letters/numbers on the side of the shifter (ex. 1/2/3/R/N/D). The total cost was under $2.00, with the bulb costing around $1.87 (or .97), from the dealership. Took me about five mintues to replace it, only because I was taking pictures of the install (
). If you have a floor shifter, and think that the bulb is out then this is a great mod, for a great price.

Calibrate the throttle. And the Gotts. $5.99 + tax is what that cost me. 
I put Silverstar replacement tail light bulbs for better vision backing into my garage.
Worked, but not free. $33 I think.
