Gift ideas for my car

Well, my anniversery is coming up and the wife wants to get me something for the car, probably $200 range. Any ideas? Current Mods listed in sig. She doesn't want to get me little things like Efini Symbols, red stitching shift boot, etc, because those are smaller items she intends to tell people to get me for x-mas.

Get a used cat-back exhaust or an intake!

Good ideas so far guys I've got a friend that's getting ready to buy a new intake and is going to give me his old one, so I wasn't considering that. Shift **** goes along with the shift boot, although a short shifter might be nice - I'm pretty happy with the stock shifter.

I'll have to look around for a used RB Dual tip cat back...

I deffinitely second the short shifter it really is a great improvement. Or how about a quality radar detector can't go wrong with that.

I wish :o I'm saving for some victoracers now, but that'll be $600 for all 4 shoes, a little bit over budget. I've got a set of borbet Type C wheels waiting for me in WV for use on the track already too.

My stock Bose system is kinda flaky though, and I'd love to rip all those tubes out..that's an idea.

But my wife wants to actually give me something on our anniversery, otherwise that would work out fine. I went over this with her already cause I was thinking along the same line.

I say R1/R2 lip, Mazdaspeed shortshifter, or a RB dual catback. Please don't get enfini emblems, toilet bowl or flying M only! Nice car by the way.

Efini Y-pipe huh? That could be good. I'm not quite ready for a racing seat, and I"m holding off on harnesses until i get to the point where I put a roll-bar in it.

99 lip could be good too.

$200 could get you trailing arms or toe links. but i would go for the 99 lip.
