Default Christmas gift mod...

Well, it's almost christmas time. Well, about two months until then, but I really always have to start thinking about gifts wayyy in advance before I forget or I'm too late.

This year I wanted to get my dad something for his 2007 Mustang V6 Convertible...I was thinking primarily, to finish up his stripe job (He only has stripes going from the hood to the spoiler), but I was also thinking like. hood scoop, styling bar, maybe even duals...but I really don't want to spend too much money, I'd say maybe under $200 is all I can afford. I also want to throw out there that he loves his car, but he isn't too crazy about fancy mods.

So, anyone got a good mustang gift suggestion for under $200?

Black billet fuel door, black hood pins, 8" shorty.

My $0.02:

I like the Bullit grille ($180 off eBay).
If it is an MT, a shifter is a good upgrade in my book.
Sequential tails (~$150)
Tint (though he may only want the back window if he drives with the top down and the windows up)
A complete Zaino kit is another idea if he likes to wash/wax his car.
Clear/smoked corner lights are under $100
You could look at billit interior switches and stuff like that

The light bar and duals are probably well over $200, so you might want to cross them off your list.

ya, my headers, midpipe and duals were 1300 bro, but that was also with headers... has he got a CAI? well you have to be careful with appearance mods, cause what you like, he may not, he may only want the stripes to go the bumper to bumper...

i always thought this looked cool to...

I've decided to go with the black billet door, hood pins, and shorty.
And maybe to finish up the stripes.

CDC Hood struts are awesome $90.00 on Ebay plus some left over for radiator extension from Midwest Auto Gear $63.00 Just a thought ( see my garage for those two items )

I got my buddy some Sylvania Silverstar headlight bulbs. He didn't want to go HID's and these bulbs are brighter than stock. The old guys appreciate that when driiving at night.

You could get those bulbs and/or a car cover.
