Gift Ideas for an Evo Owner?

My Dad's birthday is coming up and he owns a 2011 Evo. It is his favorite thing in the world, so I was wanting to get him a gift that pertains to it. I had first thought to get him so Husky floor mats, but they do not make them for any Mitsubishi. What do you suggest for a good gift?

What's your budget? And what type of item do you want to buy? Power, vanity, suspension, brakes...etc?

First thing that comes to mind is something small and nice like a shift knob. But I don't know. Depends on your budget and what you think he would like.

At most I could probably spend around $150 to $200. I'm not sure exactly what I want to get him. Maybe some nice accessories? Or a fancy part he can put on himself?

WeatherTech makes amazing all weather mats for the X. 4 piece for the front & back. Check them out. Possibly a shift nob? I think it's a great thing you are doing for your Dad! I'm a Dad too!

A shift knob sounds like a good idea.

Floor mats are a very good idea if the car is his daily driver.

BTW big props to you for taking the time to visit the forum for gift ideas!

I would suggest maybe a shift knob, boost gauge, or the all weather floor mats would be a good gift.
