I would second the GoPro idea. I've been dropping that hint all year, but I don't think I'm getting one. It would be a lot of fun to mount one in the car for those "spirited" drives. I also would recommend the Corvette Museum. If you can make a long weekend out of it, it could be a lot of fun. Especially if you could make the drive in the vette.

Radiator cooling fan doesn't come on unless ac is on or temps reach 235 degrees. This item allows u to turn fan onwith a push of a button to keep engine cool while at long redlights, or extended iddling. Vets normally run at high temps anyway, this allows u to control temps.

It depends on how long the car sits. For me, I use a cover in the winter when the car doesn't get driven nearly enough. Basically it just eliminates all of the dust and dirt from the garage accumulating over the winter and means when I take it out the next time it'll be completely clean and shiny.

A little over your budget you gave us but well worth it
I just found the perfect gift for him at autotrader...
"This 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a steal, with comforts such as power door locks, tachometer, and power windows. Aside from an 'Active Handling' message on the instrument panel, drivers might not even realize they've been assisted."
Call Jake for further details 706.327.6888

Awesome ideas! I'm not sure the last time he put tires on it so that might be a really good one! Thanks.

Does he have a gold chain?
Shift ****
Shifter boot
Arm rest cover
Rear partition as has been said
Window Tint is it's not already tinted and legal in your area

I am going to look around the shop this weekend to see if I can find any more clues. Maybe he will give me some hints too. I hope I can make him happy with something.

Ook guys. He mentioned something about wanting an anti lag this weekend. He said supercharged cars don't normally need one but he wants it for the sound that it creates. Thoughts??....

I looked them up and it seems like they aren't the easiest things to track down. Also looks like they're about $600.

Seems to me he is looking for a blow off valve of sorts, in search of that sweet noise they make.
Problem is you can get many different valves that are designed to give a different noise so... what if the one you get gives the wrong sound?
BTW the car in the video is supercharged as well
