The LED interior bulbs are a cheap mod. Four WLED-W6 bulbs for the front and rear dome lights, and two WLED-B6 bulbs for the doors.

The rear sway bar is $115 shipped; there's a group buy thread in the Black Market section.

After that, there's cold-air intakes from AEM or Injen ... ~$225.

You can get a Comptech short shifter is you have an MT and/or get a different shift knob, such as a Momo.

IMO...The two best cheap mods are a AEM CAI and The CTSB....I install both of those mods about two to three weeks ago and love them.

I think the A-spec suspension only mod is cheap at $600 for what you get. I got mine off E-Bay. It's way better than 6K for the entire kit. I put mine on myself it was way easier than I thought. the hardest part was taking out the rear seat.

Cheapest mod

Buy a set of door edge guards for $3.99 at Pep Boys (in chrome, or brushed nickel, or if you WDP, get white) and cut them to size to fit on the front lower grills- the 2 lower air intake vents (don't know the proper term) on the front bumper have a horizontal black trim that can accomodate a door edge guard. I have a ABP TL and I put chrome guards on it and it looks sharp. It breaks up the "blackness" of that area and really looks like it belongs there (unlike some mods IMO). Plus the chrome matches nicley with the chrome inserts on the corner signal lights.

wow. never thought of that. Sounds like it might look pretty good:P got any pics??
When I hear cheap mods on a TL forum, it just doesn't ring right with me. I dont think they really exist, at least nothing that doesn't look too "chezzy" ( didn't want to say rice:P). I thought a good affordable mod would be the A-Spec coilovers too at $600 plus shipping. But recently I've come to the conclusion that my first "cheap" mod will be rotors and pads which will be about 3-400 together.

EDIT:: I also depends on what's your definition of cheap too?

I guess when you've had a civic and seen every color replacement bulb at autoshows they just don't do it for you anymore

Yeh. I've seen someone convert theri whole interior to white just to put those lights in their. Not worth it personally because trying to maintain a white interior on a daily driver means no slurpee's, windows always up and girls with hair dye have to wear plastic bags on their heads
