What Are You Getting Your 8 for Christmas?!
Different thread just gave me this idea. Besides, what other people may be buying you, what is everyone buying their 8 for Christmas?


I'm getting mine:
Some new side strakes
OZ Ultralegga III 19" rims (hopefully)
LEDs!
Speaking of, does anyone know a good place besdies vleds to find turn signal LEDs?

So everyone post your lists

Tank of gas with premix in it, then i'm going to let it sit. I do plan on getting a midpipe + catback soon though . Soon enough for xmas? No, because I spent my money on tickets to California.

My 8 will be sitting out this Christmas, while I drive my Passat in the cold nasty weather it was designed for. Vice versa in the summer.
