Chop your antenna to roof height. super simple and free. Pry the ball off (dont loose it) cut, grind and refit. Screw back on. My personal favorite free mod.

it never affected my signal or what haveyou. If you have a vice, just pull it hard through the vice but keep a hand on the ball so you dont loose it. Literally takes like 5 minutes to do. Shouldnt affect reception. plus paint that bicth black once done. BOSS

-Doorless mod is cheap if you don't have electric locks and windows.
-Could also trim your fenders, that's free.
-Get a $10 can of bedliner and bedline rockers.
-Angry eyes (if you like them)
-take off you NSS and clean it
-etc...

Kind of hard to see, but did the antenna mod. It looks sick! I didnt have a grinder so I hacksawed the antenna and drilled out a bigger hole in the ball and glued it on there tight.
