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.

suspension, lights, hmm even new tires if anything

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!!!.

A drop... it will make the car look 10x better

Another thing, he refuses to put a body kit on unless he gets rims first.

V-TECH stickers!!! no, just kidding.

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.

Is the car tinted? I know it's not $500, but tint is nice.

yeah, the car is tinted already. Sorry, I should have mentioned that. And he has a new exhaust too.

Well, since it's winter and he probably wouldn't change wheels now. Get him the rims and let him save for tires in spring.

maybe see how much $ infinite012 can do a retrofit for? i would LOVE that. :sweet: :rockon:

you don't have to buy him anything, its what you give him on his b-day that makes you a good GF.

somebody had to say it!

a APEXi world sport exhaust.

rims is great idea!!!!!!!!! but other wise black car looks great with dark donut style tails... then he can black out head lights him self for about 10$ ( DIY) then get eibach sportline springs all this for LESS then 500 and would look amazing!!! but just the idea of buying him a present for his car is great my girl friend would never buy car related stuff... so thums up!!!

omg i love mine!!!

he has exhaust already

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

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.

Carbon fiber hood or trunk

one last thing i forgot, but its a tad ricey... Underbody LEDs or Neons..

DIY tools and supplies are always helpful and it will give him somthing to do... just my .02

how much does that set ya back?

Well....if you want to stick with exterior....

JDM black housing headlamps
Carbon fiber hood....I wouldnt do a trunk unless you got the hood already
H.I.D. kit
Different spoiler
Rims would be good too...but can get pricey
stickers...LED washer nozzles.....(just playin)

i would get a set of springs to drop the car first and then the other comes later, like hid, grille, etc.. in the budget range :)

how bout a hooker and get a 3some going ....

anyways......... spend it towards a drop

drop

drop

or foladble side mirrors?

new grille
go interior and get him seats? i think u can get ok seats for 500usd (im inc dn dollar so no idea lol)

I'd love new seats.. my back.. oy.. lol

Get some springs. Eibachs sport or pro-kit depending on his preference and a camber kit. Probably cost around $350 depending on where you shop.

i just have to say i wish my girlfriend be more like u :tup:

..do you have a sister.. :|

get him some nice lowering springs and a short shifter, those two things will make it a different car, plus its a good tade off for looks and performance
