I'm not a fan of fake chrome, or any chrome on the S550, so in addition to a blank deck lid I got magnetic metallic (dark grey) 5.0 emblems and grille pony. Very subtle with the Kona blue and the black grille.

+1 on the 350 steering wheel and LED sidemarkers. Not sure if Ford upgraded them on the '18+ models, but another simple, but functional LED upgrade is for the license tag and interior lights.

what are some subtle cosmetic mods yall have done? I'm not really buying anything major since im trying to get a new set of wheels but still looking to add little touches here and there! Open to any recommendations preferably no more than 200-250$ per mod

(I already have springs, front lip, decklid, euros, spoiler, side markers and tint so those are out the equation)
Storage. I added an arm rest storage tray. Practical and needed. 15-25$.

One of my favorite cheaper subtle mods were the hinge/latch covers. Also the smoked side markers and quarter window louvre covers. Also painted the hood vents black 😎

Here's a couple around 200 I did. Smoked side lights, replaced rear deflectors with smoked lights, smoked backing light with 3 blink break light added, front turn signals, tow hook, smoked break lights and handful under the hood touches. See pics

Great car. Really like the Gadsden flag license plate. I wish it were an option here.

You could try blacking out your dash trim. I used plasti dip so it is reversible. Lots and lots of coats on it and finished with a matte texture. It’s been over 9 months so far and looks new still.

All I used was just regular old black Plasti Dip. I remove the panel, pulled out the center vents, cleaned thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol, and did a ton of coats. You have to make sure to get a thick coat at the edges to prevent it from wanting to peel up. Last coat I went over light with a greater spray distance to lay down a very matte finish. Easy. Also did the two brushed aluminum trim pieces on the side, the one next to the glove box, and the headlight switch trim.
In the car it looks pretty much factory. If it ever gets damaged I can just rip it off and do it again, or not.

If you do, get yourself some of the little dash clips to replace because you will invariably break some when you pull the panel. I think you can get a big bag on Amazon for cheap. Color doesn’t matter
