Default Car gift Ideas for my husband!

Okay. So we are a car family. I have my baby (01 silverstone s2k) and he has his (09 CBP Si supercharged). Christmas is coming up and I need gift ideas. I already bought him the HFP front lip for his car which is suppose to arrive in the mail tomorrow, but I feel like I should still make a little gift basket for him so on Christmas I actually have something to give him (because knowing him, he'll probably put the lip on his car the day it comes). So I was thinking maybe a gift basket with shammys, car washing soap, tire shine, etc. Just wanted some ideas from you guys on what else I should put in his goodie basket. Any feedback is helpful!


Here's his car.

If you want to go that route - there may be a vendor or 2 in the wash & wax forum that have some kinda of starter or sample size detailing kit

Detailing supplies, Random Orbital polisher, car cover or how about a detail by a recommended detailer in your area.

Dr Colorchip in his car color. Great product for paint chips.

I like a small glovebox tool kit with small LED flashlight in my cars.

I agree with detailing supplies. You can never have too many. I recommend Zaino products, I have been using them for years and have nothing but positive things to say about their products.

It came! He's super excited. Ordered it from collegehillshonda.com. They were AMAZING and made the process super easy. I've ordered car parts before from other suppliers and by far this was the best order. The box was totally undamaged and fortified.

Inexpensive things every car guy should have. You will sense a theme here.

1. tire tread depth gauge http://www.amazon.com/Bell-08844-M-T.../dp/B000KKHR10
2. decent tire pressure gauge http://www.amazon.com/Joes-Racing-32...bs_15709131_52
3. Quick tire patch kit, for those out of the way excursions. That has saved my butt and a few others at the Dragon as well. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/am...FQcSMwodPUUA_A
4. small 12v air compressor http://www.pepboys.com/product/detai...rs/?quantity=1
