Default Gift Ideas

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for gift ideas for someone who owns a C8 Corvette. I’d like to get them something car-related, whether it’s an accessory, an upgrade, or a performance mod. My budget is around $300-$400, so I’m hoping to find something high-quality around or under that.

If you have any suggestions or personal favorites, I’d really appreciate the input!

Thanks in advance!

How about a Soler Bluetooth Throttle Controller?

A gift certificate so the owner can buy EXACTLY what he/she needs/wants.

Silicone rubber key fob protectors and aluminum jack pucks both on Amazon. Put the balance in cash.

A lot of IFs. IF the car is a convertible and IF you can spend another hundred, this is the ultimate. Easy to install and very functional. Allows top and windows functioning from the remote down AND up.

CONVERTIBLE CARS ONLY
C8 Top Control

…what Vetteman Jack posted…

This is actually a little under your budget, but will be much appreciated even if he/she doesn’t know they want it! The throttle lock-out alone to prevent theft is worth it, but Sport 6 setting will make the care feel livelier!

Here’s a link to an install and review:

I want to be your new BFF. Really! Most of my friends are in line at Starbuck's buying $5 gift cards.

Check the National Corvette Museum Gift Shop. Shipping will be tight but doable.

If you’re looking for something car-focused, a quality detail kit or a set of custom floor mats can be awesome and practical. Another route I’ve taken before is picking up a gift card from https://giftcardmall.org—then they can grab whatever Corvette accessory or upgrade they really want.

What a nice friend. Corvette owners are very strange sometimes with their tastes in mods. Some want to leave their car bone stock, others will put orange wheels on a yellow car. So you gotta know your friend fairly well.

1) Laminated window sticker and build sheet from corvette museum.
2) Lifetime membership to corvette museum.
3) Lloyd’s premium floor mats
4) GM Frunk and Trunk rubber Jake mats
5) Corvette speed shape model
6) Jacking pucks
7) Corvette battery maintainer
8) Owners manual or Service manual

Some of these things he/she might already have. You will need to know information about the car to order 3 & 5. Number 5 is also only available used.
