Default $200 for Splitter, lca's, or aluminum driveshaft?

I have right around $200 to spend, well to give my parents a christmas gift idea for. I was throwing around a few ideas. I really like the roush front splitter so that is my first choice even though it will have to wait for paint. Then I was thinking about a set of lower control arms or maybe an aluminum driveshaft. Not sure. Looking for some ideas from you guys, which do you think. And any other ideas between $200-300.

Just for fun, other things on their way for christmas...
8.8 rear end swap
42% moto blue udp set
Bullitt pedals
BBK poly spring isolators for rear during swap
HID kid
1 of the 3 options above

Look on carparts.com and try to find an aluminum driveshaft out of the ford aero star(correct me if im wrong). Then just save a little more $ and get the LCA.

I could, but its a present from the parents so I don't think thats an option. Mainly considering the lca's or splitter because I can grab the driveshaft for cheap one day from a junkyard. I really like the splitter...lca's are better for actual performance and driving though.
