Can of red engine paint to paint the center of my supercharger.

Killed a couple rolls of tape that day, but god knows I hate overspray.



End result

Nice. Knew this thread would be win. Getting a lot of stuff I can do on the cheap that´ll make a personal difference. Afraid starfire´s won´t do me much good, but for others... 4-8k just isn´t in the cards for F/I to have something there to paint.

Keep it comin´ guys!

Its a set of the cheap round stick-on blind spot mirrors that set me back about $3.50 I think...

$14 dollar stack racing shorty antenna (it was on sale)

Really did change the appearance of the car though. After someone brought up the mustang's high antenna, I couldn't stop staring at the thing!

Swapped my black interior for another owners saddle interior. Just cost me some sweat and hours.

Shorty antenna for free.

Just cut the antenna to length with a Dremel.

Remove the ball tip and reattach to the remaining section.

I don't know why people even pay money for those things.

2nd cheapest mod, blacked out grill Pony. Masking tape and satin black spray paint.

3rd cheapest mod, PCV catch can. Just get a $12 oil separater from Home Depot and splice it into the PCV line. Works great. Keeps the inside of my blower and intercooler spotless.

Also vinyl hood stripe for like $10 or $12.

Get some Oracal 751 7 year premium cast vinyl from a sign shop.

Cut your own stripe and lay it on.
