Default Whats your best bang for the buck mod?

I just got these Escalade vent caps for $120 shipped. Pretty cheap as far as mods go.

Sweeeeet!!!!!!!!!! Looks great!! I'd like to put those 3 vents(holes) off of a Buick Park Avenue on my front fenders. Would be something different IMO.

I bought a billet grill off of Ebay for like $60 with shipping and all, and a billet bowtie for $20....so for $80 it really changed the look of my truck. Performance wise, it's gotta be the Dry shot. Over a second for $400!

No they aren't painted, black plastic just like the stockers. I got em from GMpartsdirect.com. Took 3 weeks cause they're a special order item.

Black escalade door handles for the outside cost was 26$, then I got the inside ones for 50$ off ebay. Clear turn signals were 20$. Oh I got my power side mirrors fully painted for a 6 pack of beer!
