Need to buy YoJimbo gift for winning MSRP Contest

Can anyone think of something neat or post a link to something neat ($100 range) that I can get YoJimbo for his Lancer Evolution. He had the closest guess to MSRP. I have not had time to research what is available. I personally would like to get (myself) normal taillights, but that would be more than $100.

Thanks

<$100 would most likely be a turbo timer or boost gauge...can't think of any other "basic" stuff

$100 worth of stickers!

But if it was me, I'd want the turbo timer.

Wow. $100. that's pretty cool of u?

Hummn. Mudflaps or maybe car polish wax kit or something? The red evo at detroit has so much scratch or swril on it i dont' know if it's from the person who washed it or maybe cheap paint like the subaru?

I feel the dodge SRT-4 had a much higher quality paint.

Turbo timers are great! I have one in my turbo car. It allows you to completely forget about having to sit and idle your car for a few minutes to cool down the turbo. It always guarantees a properly cooled down turbo before the engine shuts off.

What does it do? Keeps the engine running for a programmable amount of time after you've turned the ignition off and removed the key.

High revs while driving make the turbo rather hot. Low revs while idling allow it to cool down a bit. I'm not sure that anything more technical than that really needs to be explained.

Oh and MEGABUSA rules!!
