I need help picking a present for my boyfriend.
Alright, here's the deal. I want to get my boyfriend Matt some sort of present for his car. I would like it to be for the exterior if possible. He doesn't have anything done to it yet, so anything goes. I have no idea where to start, where to get stuff, or how much stuff costs. So I need help from you guys. I would like to keep the cost around $500, as it is a "just because" gift, so I think that is pretty generous. Please help out and give me ideas. Thank you.

Rep Power: 0 You can get em a radio amp and sub for around that, maybe installed. cold air intake and exhaust. rims and tires. Take your pick. Check www.ebay.com just type in the make and year of his car in the search engine and check with the people in here before buying!!!.

Rep Power: 0 buy a factory spoiler from spoilerdepot.com and maybe a set of HID headlamps if he doesn't have any of those. That should cost around $500 for both of those and would make a great appearance mod for it, nothing drastic just a nice clean look.

Rep Power: 296 I think the HID idea would be best, it keeps things very simple and clean plus everyone wants HIDs, its just the thing 
You can't really buy a guy rims because everyone has a diffrent style.
Body mods in general are a diff preferance between people.
She said she wants something for the exterior.
Well, that doesn't leave much...
-Drop
-Headlights
-Tail Lights
-Rims ( which I dont think she should get him )
-Tires ( No point since you should get them with the rims )
-Body Kit ( Too much choice and everyone has their own preferance )
-Exhaust ( He already has one )
-Intake ( Well its not really exterior, but does make a great mod )
-Carbonfiber Hood (Again, nice but you really need to find out if he would want to do such a mod )
-Side markers (nice and simple, adds a little safety )
I think I mentioned everything that you can really get for the exterior unless you want to shave his trunk
<-- that sounds a little erotic

Rep Power: 296 Oh I forgot mirrors Some M3s would be good, and fenders.. you can also do that much those kind of mods are left last.
FYI to everyone: He already has a fac spoiler.
