Default Gift for Christmas.

hey all,
This is my first time posting a thread on this site and I'm very sorry if my question does not relate to the forum, but I am hoping to get some help from you guys about my bf's christmas gift.
He has honda civic 95 EX (2 door, red). He has beening working his *** off tuning this car for some time now, and I really would like to get him something that would help tune his car. He already brought wheels, lights, bumpers etc, and I think he is about to get them painted.
I know nothing about cars and tuning; nothing about wheels, lights or anything else that is car related.
The question is, if I was your gf, what would you like for me to buy you for Christmas?

It depends on the person. Like I wouldn't have bought any of that (rims, lights, bumpers, etc.) for my car.

It really depends on what he wants, each person has their own flavor of what they want. Unless he told you one item specifically for his car, you might just wanna just stay clear of his "tuning" aspect as you don't know for sure, especially if you don't know anything about cars. There's no way to know he wanted one or he doesn't want one, or maybe he doesn't want it, or he'll simply never use it, etc. So I'd stay away from buying him something for his car unless you know something specifically.

If u want to help him tune his car theirs a lot of little tuning programs u could get him, BUT u have to know what he has all done to his motor i mean theres little programs that can change his Vtec point and air to fuel Ratio but then again idk what motor he has so thats another problem see everyone can help u but theres a lot of info we need like his motor im thinkin its a D16y8 which is the stock motor in that car, but he could have swapped another motor like B16a,a2,b or B18c1,c5,c theres a ton of different motors so info would help out too. I know its confusing maybe u should just let him worry about all that and just get him a short shifter, shift ****, Hids for his headlights, and so on
