Default Help!!

My boyfriend has an 88 GT and all he wants for xmas is stuff for his car, but he won't say what. I know better then to buy a guy ANYTHING for his car w/o specifics, so if anyone can help me out and give me some ideas of what I could buy for him I'd really appreciate it.

He said all he has aftermarket is his exhaust - everything else is stock. He's in the Marines so he keeps the car at his parents while he is away so he doesn't have a lot of time to work on it.

gift certificate is the best idea, dont go getting some little $100 gift certificate, you need more then $100 to get the wheels off the ground! if my wife got me a $500 gift certificate i'd do the dishes, well i would think about it, lol
