Question Low cost mods. Who's doing what?

Cut the front bumper on the weekend and installed the VDP end caps. I must say it looks really good and would highly recommend to anyone. Took about 30 minutes to do.

Also put the Rugged Ridge euro guards on the tail lights and a gas filler cap and painted the antenna black.

Waiting for the Spiderweb shade to come in and some warm weather.

The plan is some new tires & wheels and I like the Body Armor tube doors but that will have to wait till next spring I think.

I plan to do the grill mod also with the mesh. I really like the look.

Anyone else??

I think the only 'free' mod I did was painting my antenna black.

Still waiting for my Spiderwebshade to arrive.

Installed my IPF lights on the A-pillars.

Ordered last night the Body Armor tube doors through Summit.

Shopping tires and wheel options.

Thinking of removing the silver applique off the bumpers.
