I don't know if you guys would consider this a cheap mod, but today I was getting parts for my Jeep at a local junk yard. I mentioned that I had a Pontiac G5 and the guy told me there was a totaled one and 2 wrecked Cobalts in the back. He told me that for $15 I could take anything that I could carry out.
Got me some new trim, some new door bezels, some new badges, and various other toys.

I went to the local sticker shop and they printed the design on some vinyl. It is pretty sticky but the best thing is heating up the vinyl with a hairdryer. The heat makes it sticker and more manageable. You can stretch it around the corners and it reduces air bubbles when heated. Hope this helps!

I don't know about fedex/kinkos does stuff like that. Try a place that makes vinyl stickers for business vehicles or big signs. Painting is a good idea too! Good thing about the vinyl is that you can always take it off without damaging your dash.

The hardest part was getting the other one off. You'll want to use two wrenches / pliers, one to hold the antenna bracket in the trunk and one to twist the antenna. It took like 5 - 10 minutes. Reception seems to be about the same, but i never listed to the radio anyway.

I might have missed it, but did anyone ever say Window tint?
I got mine done for less than $200, which when you're talking about turbos and catback systems comes out pretty cheap.
