List of cheap mods?

Need some help. Need a list of mods I can purchase that will not void my factory warranty. I already bought some LEDs for the interior which were cheap. I'm also thinking about getting a puddle light kit. These are the types of mod I would like they're cheap and change the look of the car. Any input is helpful. Oh btw car is WDP 08 base with Nav with taupe interior.

How about this one? RDX Caliper covers

Also, iJDMToy LED DRLs and LED switchbacks are nice and easy.

I think they can go on the front or rear of non-brembo cars. Obviously just rear for manual and Type-S cars.

There's a huge elitist debate on whether it's tint or tints...I still call them tints since I want them on ALL my windows!

To me, the first thing anyone should do to a car (particularly one that might have lacked some love and sits in the sun) is a thorough wash and wax. Get that paint looking right, everything else will fall into place as time (and money) allow.

those tints don't block out the heat as effectively as mine do.

^^^Right, and I paid $100 for mine with lifetime warranty and 3 years in, still no bubbles or purple. Reputable shop too...I guess the market down here and the amount of people that do tints brings the price down for us.

LOL recently someone quoted me $100 just for the front windshield and i was telling myself "damn thats a heck of a good deal"....guess not LOL....

I think for a full car (decent tint) with moleskin or some like that 200 is a good price...

Not really, I've seen the work and it's actually pretty good... That's why I said its all ab who u know. He usually charges a lot more but since my hubs sells wheels at discount , quite often he gives them deals and they end up thankin him with deals in return.
But yes, I agree, if it was advertised for just $80 I'd be weary lol

My friend tied a rottweiler to a pickup truck and forgot that it was tied to it and drove off.
