$150 Scangauge
$25 for a set of fairly smooth hubcaps
$20 for foam floor mat for lower grille block. (only used 1/8 of it, though)
$10 for plexi upper grille block
$7 for battery float charger (too much eoc and the alternator isn't running, so it needs a topup)

Total: $212
Saved: $1175 over 3.5 years

The most expensive, and the most worthwhile, has been the scangauge. Adjusting the nut behind the wheel makes a HUGE difference.
