All these hilariously sexist comments.

Depending on what he has:
A flex fuel kit.
Padded knee rests.
A sub woofer.
Keyless entry or remote start.
Low profile aluminum jack from harbor freight.
Weathertech mats all around.
A full detail/ceramic coat.

@Melissa86 stick with the $500 ft86speedfactory gift card, and use the left over for something like a quick shift kit if he has a manual, or do the $500 and a nice night out out combo:

Car parts are a difficult gift to get right. For a friends birthday I recently bought her a UUC evo short throw shifter for her e36 m3 and she was ecstatic but that's only because I knew what she was trying to perfect on the car with transmission fluids and bushing installs. It would help to know the full set of mods he has already.

You really just need to poke around and find something he wishes was better on the car, like an android auto head unit or something like that.

There can't be too many supercharged '15 black FRSes in the area owned by guys with an anniversary coming up. If he's on here he's already recognized his car.

Dude around San Francisco? There could be dozens.

Custom shift knob and reverse lockout. You can even have it custom engraved.

i think the his and hers track day experience, maybe spend the weekend could be fun. that's what i'd want. you can always get more goodies. but experiences live forever.

RallySport · 02-03-2019, 01:59 PM

Another vote for flex fuel if you have e85 semi nearby.

Or gift card, for the safe, but unimaginative bet.

Guys are like dogs-

Rub our bellies once in a while, share an encouraging word when we’re down and feed us. We’ll follow You everywhere!

Gosh, I hope I didn’t break mancode here

Are there any tracks within a few hours drive? See about getting a day pass where he can zoom-zoom around corners and drive the wheels off the car. Stay over at non-chain hotel walking distance to brew pub and good chow. Shower him with praise and encouraging words. You get the drift.

My wife has spent at least that much. She has guessed what I would like at about a 50% accuracy rate.
Anybody want a set of plastic "alloy wheel" hubcaps for your winter wheels? How about a nice $160 touch up paint set for a Lava? An $80 Hotwheels car maybe?

This is what making recommendations for other people can lead to!
