Yes I agree. Like nice sporty looking metal pedals and then the plastic dead pedal ?

TRS HID kit. Cheapest of the mods I've done at $150.

Been rock solid the last year.

how is this under $50

Wasn't listed as a strict requirement lol - just a thought/guideline from the OP.

In any case, that's my cheapest mod and one I'd consider "inexpensive."

Honda Hack + Viper4Android are a must for the premium sound system, and it was for free as I hacked through a laptop (although the Honda Hack developer deserves every pennie).

One of the earliest mods I did was to replace the interior and trunk lighting, as the stock bulbs were poor.

I bought these ones which give very good light, even if a little bit blueish, but they look great.

Can you snap a quick pic of the interior lighting? Thinking about changing mine.

There you go, straight from the oven.

Ruthenium plugs by ngk. First time an actual plug made a difference. I posted about this in another section. I legitimately had better mileage smoother running and increase in power. Not drastic but the fuel trims proved that it used less fuel on the same tune and gas when fuel trims went from -3 under load before to now -5 under load. Same fuel even same tank of fuel. I always use BP ammaco. 93 octane. The plugs are also about 1.40 cheaper per plug. The special pspe tip really helps igniting lean mixtures and the ruthenium has better thermal conductivity and better electrical conductivity than iridium. I took a 2 hour trip which was a mix of about 70 percent highway of speeds up to 80mph and local as slow as 35mph. Minimal traffic I got 31.4 mpg. Considering it’s rated 28 highway that’s impressive. The tune doesn’t run leaner than factory so it’s not from the tune. My overall economy was ver 2800 miles climbed from average of 26 to 27.5 in just 1.5 tanks of fuel. The high rpm you can definitely feel a difference as well.

I am an automotive diagnostic tech by trade a I don’t believe in gimmicks. Truth is I expected it to have zero difference. I’m glad I was wrong. As soon as I put the plugs in I noticed a slow climb in speed when I was trying to maintain 50mph. It took me a few days to use a bit less throttle input to maintain speed.

the part number is NGK 91784 it’s the exact same specs as type r oem plug. It can also be used by SI cause the only difference between si and type r plugs is gap. I even closed the plug gap to what I had the iridium plugs at. .026. The iridium plug were not more than 10,000 miles on them. They were clean and zero gap had worn down. Still at .026.

"STUDENT DRIVER" magnet
3 for $7.99 on Amazon

I've been pondering this and I think it's absolutely brilliant. You could get away with driving like an asshat, and at the same time, others would likely be more courteous. I.e. blinkers, no tailgating, letting you go first, etc. I guess it could backfire when you rocket past someone.... they'll say "why is that idiot newb driving so aggressively?!?"

 

[Dootdootdiddle]

+1 for this although the labor and time it took me to finish was way more than $50 ?

CTR subframe brace would be second but not close

Did you do the acuity stuff with it or just the type r shifter? I've been considering this for my Si, but it's not nearly as "inexpensive" when you add the extra bits. I've been curious if it's that much difference stock as most don't do it that way. I also only want to pull that console apart a single time since it seems like a pain.

Remove the manufacturing bolt for front suspension for slightly more negative camber for free. Side markers

Could you explain this? Like what does that mean sorry
