Best mods for between $50 - $100
 
With Christmas fast approaching, I started thinking about car parts and mods as ideas for wish lists. Realistically speaking, a range of about $50 - $100 is probably a good ballpark value for a Christmas present. Given this, what would you (or are you) asking for?

LED interior lights would come to mind.

My recent mods each below $100
-switchback led turning signals
-weathertech floor mats
-whiteline positive shift bushing
-cusco drift button
-halos for my drls (although did those with a full retrofit bc I had to open the headlighys up)
-mtec shifter springs (these are amazing)
-detailer and other washing products

Good one. I gave myself this as an early Christmas present last year.

I have the all weather mats that came with the car, are weathertech mats that much better?
That reminds me, my wife spilled my car wash soap - good idea.

Good call on lining the stocking.

Well it's kinda up to you if they are better, but they have a lip around the edges so rocks and other stuff are more easily kept from getting under the mat

Lip is nice to catch all the melted snow. Only thing I dislike about them (and this can't be avoided with any mats on the market given the retention clip style) is that liquid can drain through the retention clip slot and get to the carpet underneath. Shorter passengers can rest their heels really close to the spot, which means snow carried in will cause some trouble.

Again, this is essentially for all mats for our platform, out of them all WTs probably perform the best.

GrimmSpeed hood struts
Grimmspeed front license plate relocation kit (for those places where front plate is mandatory)
Rear fog light kit/4th brake light

that's all that comes to mind at the moment...

Raceseng has some affordable options if your car is stock.

I've been eying up the GrimmSpeed hood struts as well. From what I've seen, they are the best on the market.
