    k, this is gonna be a long list...

    air fresheners: $1.99 at ACO hardware
    amorall: free in my garage

    that's pretty much it lol. here's what i have for a system but not yet installed:
    two 12" pioneer subs: $75 each
    rockford fosgate amp: $165

    once money comes around, i'm moving on to some performance parts: intake, exhaust stuff for starters.

                            IMO, tires shouldn't be considered as a MOD coz you need tires and its a part of maintenance like OIL, plug wires, spark plugs, coils, etc.
