Just a wife spoiling her husband I want to get him something big for his 90 vette but he hasn't dropped any hints.

Pretend like cost wasn't a factor and tell me what YOU would want

Something big??? You're a doll!!! One popular idea might be custom wheels, if the car doesn't already have them! Really makes a car stand out!



(p.s. I like my factory wheels.)

Your husband is a lucky man! A lift to allow ease of servicing the car at home.

wheels and tires are always a good idea.

I would opt for this: https://www.kwik-lift.com/

it is the perfect garage accessory, and will not only benefit the corvette, but all cars in the family

Another with a vote for the lift or wheels.

I already have a Kwik-lift so for me it would be Fikse FM5 wheels.

A professional detail and paint correction for a car that's nearly 30 years old sounds like the perfect gift

Pics first please.

Why did he buy the car?
What does he do with the car?
What does he intend to do with the car?
Does he work on cars?
What does he like about the car?
What does he not like about the car?
What if he cares what you think about the car?

These are all excellent suggestions. One more I would add is if his Corvette is like mine then it could really use all new rubber weather stripping. It's not cheap and I know if my wife got that for me I would be thrilled.

LMAO You read my mind... I was going to say something very similar, but possibly offensive.

I could get behind this hood ornament idea. Not literally, well I mean that too but whatever you know what I mean.

If money is no object, swapping it for a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster would be pretty high on the list, lol. Neat thing is those tend to include hood ornaments too.

A new 50x80 workshop with a concrete floor, climate-controlled, bathroom, heated soft water system, drain in corner area so he can wash the Vette in the winter, four-post lift, overhead crane (on rail), lots of lighting.
