Oh my, there's SOOOO many possibilities. Great question though!
First, I would recommend visiting the "Market" link at the top of the page. This will point you in many directions.

My own personal favorites are car-care products (polishes, leather cleaners, etc.) and cool add-on things (like leather shift knob cover, organizers, etc...)

Best wishes!

I agree, too. You have a lot of options here. What a thoughtful girlfriend, I might add. What has he already modified on the car? What year is it? If my g/f were to buy me something for the s2k, I'd love any of the following:
clear sidemarkers
one-piece floormats
leaf blower to dry car after washing
trunk-mounted bag/case thingy
Titanium shift nob
clear bra

none of those should be over $200, except for maybe the clear bra, once you add installation costs...

hope that helps even a little

Get him a titanium shift knob. They make shifter much smoother and shorter and they look great. There's a lot of people who will agree with me....

Here's a link to where I bought mine...Ricks Shift Knobs

Merry Xmas

I just looked it's only $135 but you get some custom engraving on it for him and make it extra special

pay for a track day...should be around $200 depending, it's hard o choose a mod for someone elses car, because you never know what they're looking for. But the chance to run the car like it should be with out the worry of police, everyone can be happy with that.
