Holiday Gift for under $50?
 
i was thinking of getting my wife something for her for christmas, if she just wasnt soo hard to shop for... i never know what she wants! uuggg!! But i was thinking of getting her something for her rx8 would be a sweet touch. I personally was thinking of getting her some LED lights to put under the dash, but she hardly drives at night time
..anyone think of something that might be a nice touch but for under $50?

Rotary key ring and a bunch of flowers = blow job

whats your budget?
Grounding kits would make the car run and idle much better, she may like that.
AAA membership? Its great piece of mind. I had to get my car towed, was worried about damage so i requested a flatbed and they were like "sure, no problem". plus you can get other discounts through them.

Theres so many things but a budget to give us an idea where to start would help..

do not get your wife an AAA membership

That's like her buying you socks for your birthday

why don't you buy her lingerie?

that way YOU profit from this

Heres what you do...

Sit down with a pen and paper and think of all the things shes mentioned through the year that she wanted.

If you weren't paying attention to the subtle hints go ahead and make your bed on the couch.

If you were paying attention go out and buy the most expensive thing she mentioned.

If she really wants a car mod have a look at the buy sell thread on the forums. Go see if you can find something in your price range...

if im not mistaken, he is asking for car (possibly rx8) related gift ideas. thats why i threw the AAA idea out there. With a Rx8, not having a spare or being too far away to help your wife in the event she needs help with anything involving the car, having the membership can be a lifesaver. just being realistic, and im sure any good woman worth marrying would appreciate that.

Not for a holiday gift...

That's how divorces happen.

this is my wife after giving her flowers for valentines day earlier this year: "wth am i suppose to do with these?"
..so ya see why buying things for her is ALWAYS a challenge! So for her birthday i made her this leather pouch kit that i made myself from items at the arts & crafts section in walmart. the kit houses 4x 4oz vials of 2cycle oil, a small funnel, and a place for her to put the oil bottle. (when i can, i'll take a pic of it to show it off). It made it easier for her to measure the oil and she can fill up the vials for 4 tank fills... She hugged me, she cried, she kissed me,,, so on so on and the next item we bought was a pregnacy test :)
... as long as i buy her something that is for her RX8, she'll love it... she loves it better than me i fear LoL.
I was looking at LED interior dome lights and such

Don't be a cheap ass, buy a nice set of wheels for Christmas you'll get laid for sure. That's what really matters anyway

wrightcomputing 11-09-2012 10:49 PM

Clear corners, rotary side flare accents, little chrome rotary shaped things for the front and back bumper, "rx8" brake light cover. Gear knob, K&N airfilter

agree with bold.. also..

lebren rear light
grounding kit
lebren led hood light to aid in finding that hidden dipstick hole after you pulled out the dipstick.
lug nuts
factory painted spoiler gently used off the forum
5 cans of plasti-dip to paint her wheels black and do emblems
window tint
GROM for plugging in ipod/phone/cd player/cassette player/
recaro's from the R3(okay thats not really in your budget... but seeing as how she has put up with you giving her 50 gifts, be thankful and splurge)

MAKE SURE that you drop subtle hints, my girlfriend was impartial to when i added clear corners, i thought it made the car look great. Say like... hey how come this rx8 in this picture on google has these side white things? i kinda like those, do you?

I personally think the lebren light makes the car look like it has a goatee, so ask that one too..

if she likes black wheels..

etc etc etc.

dont be a cheap ass

meoneal 11-09-2012 11:58 PM

Thanks everyone

Flex innovations grounding kit . Zoom-zoom sticker ..

Voodoo Shift Knob.

It's like 45 bucks, nice piece, it's something that looks good and will be put to good use. That is if she drives a manual...

How about $60? I have them on my car and I like them.

I still like the LED interior lights... It dramatically changes the interior

How about some premix? Bitches love premix.
