Here is one you can do today...
Remove the rear bumperettes.
Scruff them up with a medium sandpaper.
Primer them.
Paint them to closely match the car.
Clear coat them.
Put them back in place and you just made the rear of your P-car look much better.
This is assuming you have the ugly black ones like my 99 had.

The only problem with those cost-effective under $500 mods is they can start to add up!
Some of my favorite "budget" mods:
Some budget mods which I didn't like and reverted back to stock:
Some of my favorite "budget" mods:
- H&R Sport Suspension Springs [$300]
- 997 SSK [$170, used]
- Guardian Jr. [$275]
- Pioneer Radio / Polk speakers audio upgrade [$450]
- Ecliptech Progressive Shift Light [$185]
- Sprint Booster [$220]
- Silicone Intake [$40]
- GT3 Alignment [$100]
- Color matched bumper plugs ($25)
- Window tint [$300]
Some budget mods which I didn't like and reverted back to stock:
- Fister mod (I guess I just don't love loud exhausts...)
- No smoker kit (The flip-up cover for the 'ashtray' gives a more finished appearance than the useless shallow recess the no smoker kit gives you)
