Inexpensive Gift Ideas for the Car Enthusiast?
 

What are some neat, inexpensive (<$50), automotive items you have or want that would make good Christmas gifts for a car enthusiast?

shift knob, door sills, other assorted cosmetic things

At Griots garage they have little caps for your tire valves that have the Acura (or any other car) symbol on them and they lock so they can't be stolen easily.

Those automotive art keychains that are things like brembo brakes, turbos, pistons, etc. Kind of like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2444692091

Um zaino products.

Maybe one of those oil vacuum's to make oil changes easier. kind of like this http://automotivemileposts.com/produ...gepumpvac.html
or a motorized one.

cali duster, cali dash duster, cali water blade...

Tire shine, air freshners ...

Buy a cheap bucket. Fill it with quality car care products lilke, carwash soap, sponge, waxes, vinyl cleaner, leather cleaner, tire dressing, etc. etc. Maybe even throw in one of those pine tree air freshners.

It's like a fruit basket for a car guy :D

Air Spencer would be great

Is that any different than a car basket for a fruity guy:)

interior lighting, zaino package, portable air inflator, cheap hookers.

:werd:
my wife keeps stealing mine. "do you want me to buy you one?"
"no. its okay" two days later, its gone. she must have 3 in her car.

:rofl:

I like the bucket with car care products Idea.
K&N Air filter usually < $50

Moon roof visor, mud flaps

A rechargable or cigarrette lighter plug-in Vaccum cleaner, like a dust-buster.

How about a repair manual for his ride? Those are expensive and always appreciated.

um just a bunch of car care products

Don't forget Model cars.

Try http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_9590
They have some pretty good gifts.

If you can find a Maisto die-cast model of his/her ride...only $20 in BJ's

Yeah a nice quality cast metal model of their car or a car you know they dream of owning is always appreciated.

Also, a quality wall poster or photo of said car works as well.

And hey don't forget the Recaro seat cell-phone holder!! :thumbsup:

my dad got me one of those 'fruit baskets' for me last year, it was great!!!

and a tool set, that was great too

those parking mats with 2 bumps on them, for finding the right spot every time. I got one last year for 30 shipped.

Too bad there are no die cast models of the CL :(

The Absorber - A must for drying, under $10

Tire air inflator - Very cool, used all the time - Less than $20

Digital tire gauge - Also used all the time - Less than $20

Hmm
Shift Knob
Door Sills
Zaino Wax
S100 wax
A high quality buffer
Custom Valve Stems
Small tool kit (I got a good one, keep it in my trunk at all times)
Garage stuff, shop towels, jackstand, tools, good shop jack
OBDII scanner
Keychain

All-Season Mats (Weathertech)

I gotta get me one of those :ebay:

Depends on the guy :dunno:

:rofl:

Wow, a woman who gets excited about tools. If you weren't already engaged (an I was 10 years younger), I'd propose to you now :D

That does suck, don't it. I've got a bunch of vw toys, some tonkas (porsche 911, vw beetle), and some other stuff, but no f'ing CL.

Excessive quoting is bad, m'kay... (but I own page 2)

Acura poster.

lisc plate frame

car towels - ie hand towels for inside the car. they should match the color of the car's interior. 2, 4 or 6 would be nice.
