Default $200 EF Xmas gift, What should I ask for?

$200 Xmas gift, What should I ask for?

My girl keeps asking what I want for Xmas and I cant really think of anything I want. So she gave me a $200 limit, and I want to know what you guys would want. I want to keep it EF related or at least car related.

Lets see what you come up with. post pics and links if you can.

Merry Christmas Everybody

here are pics of my EF's for reference

my race car, Ugly Ed





my new daily, Blue Bomber

If it were me 200 would be the perfect amount to do something new with the color of the rims. Local shop does almost anything you want color wise for like 50 bucks a rim. I just dont like flat black cause from a distance they look like steelies. Hell Id polish em.

Why? I love both of my car's colors. The paint on the blue car is really clean and the black car is purposely done like that because it's a track car that really sees abuse and doesn't need shiny paint.

I'm waiting to buy new wheels in the spring for the blue car but I have 14" steelies with EX hubcaps with snow tires for now.

does the jdmshit.com lip fit the USDM front with out having to trim any excess lenght off of the ends to fit properly?

did you look at the interior shot? I've had it since the original group buy.

I've been looking at steering wheels and must of the one I see are super expensive, maybe it's only the places I've been looking. who has inexpensive wheels? either nardi, sparco, ect will do.

I already have a energy bushing kit, but itsn't the red ones.

where can I get a Full-Race for $200?

does anyone know where I can get quality visors? weathertech doesn't make them and I can't find oem ones.

These are all great suggestions, this should make it easier for her to pic from
