Default What to do?

So my girlfriend's mom wants to get me something for x-mas and obviously I want something vette related. My gf told me that I can get something in the range of $50-75... I know that's not much, but what are some ideas guys? I was looking at some interior accent pieces in MY or some LED's for the fendor coves from JWmotoring. Any other thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks

Sill protectors, floor mats with C5 flags. Both are fairly inexpensive.

Steering wheel or pass side airbag decals. Embroidered rear cargo shade. New floor mats are a good idea.
