Need ideas for christmas mod

My GF wants to get me something for my car for christmas. up to $300-350.

I was thinking between an AEM Wideband, short throw shifter - not sure on brand, tint the windows, or nicer lug nuts - don't know which. Any other ideas... or opinions on which?


I already have, Intake, UPIC, FP red, Walbro, fuel filter kit, Lowering springs, Rota's, injectors, ams downpipe /o2 housing, mid pipe, and catback.

You can't really go wrong with tint for the windows. However you're in Minnesota so that might not matter so much. Down here in Texas, window tint is a must to keep from having your arms from getting burned in the summers. However with a budget of $300-$350, you could get tint AND lugnuts...throw in a shorty antenna too

Oh didn't see that you had no boost gauge. In that case I revise my previous post and agree with this guy.

I'd go with a Greddy Touch as a boost gauge and general info meter. It works perfectly on our cars to read boost, in fact, I'm about to post my review up in about a few days, but you will have to look for it in the 09+ Ralliart pages

If she's looking for a short shifter:

And I also agree that a track day or track school is probably one of the best gifts any enthusiast can receive for Christmas!

if you get tinted windows make sure to install some felt or use tintprotector.
