Most of the mods I've done have been cheap and easy to do yourself.
Plasti-dip wheels and grill inserts Paint calipers Color match tailgate handle and antenna base Custom painted front and rear main badges

The chrome plastic covers on the wheels are what you are plasti-dipping...It took me three cans at $6 each to do all four of mine with plenty left over.
The rear badge is a single piece held on only with double sided tape. The front badge is two pieces that are held on with tabs accessible from the back of the grill.
