What's your cheapest mod?

Up until now, my cheapest mod was my silver grille surround, for a grand total of $3.86:
But I found a cheaper one from Bridgestone
(although you need to have a Blue Lancer) - blue alloy valve caps, which apart from looking neat, also help charity:
They look pretty good on, too!
So, as with most things, I've set the bar pretty low - but what can you do for less...?
(freebies don't really count, but post 'em up anyway!)
Cheers!

I you just got if off eyouBay...
I wanted to do a 'dummy run' with a cheap trim, plus I didn't want to put one on that was too wide - the one I used was 6mm.
I should have left it in the sun to soften right up - the two top corners are pulling away slightly; I've ordered 8mm this time - hopefully there'll be a little more tape behind it and I'll do the top corners a bit more slowly.
I ordered this one this time:

You can also get 10mm & 12mm if you like a bolder look:

I was also thinking of getting some 25-30mm trim to run across the bottom of the boot...

Not like I've researched it or anything!

These were the 'best-value-per-metre' ones I could find.

@kevin - already got my eye on one - just trying to find one a tad smaller in navy blue , so it almost disappears on the car...
@mark - outrageous!
@sean - that's more like it!
I just ordered these:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190944416609 ... 1497.l2649 which works out as 16c more than Sean, so I got ripped off!
Also these:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/400588058308 ... 1497.l2649 in case they weren't bright enough!
Last o' the big spenders me!
