HELP!! Present ideas for boyfriend's 2012 S197 GT

I've never had a harder time getting a present for my boyfriend in my life! He has a 2012 Mustang S197 GT V8, on bags, supercharged, etc. just hit 712 rwhp on the dyno a few days ago, and I want to get him something to add to his car, but I have no clue what to get him (he literally has everything done to the car). I was thinking of getting him a 2 step, but I don't know if that would be a cool gift (I think he'd have some fun with it)? My budget is around $200, so that limits me a lot! Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!!

^^^This^^^ Plus a nice weekend somewhere.....I'm sure he'd pitch in and help with the $$$'s!!:smile:
Why don't you get him a gift card from AMERICAN MUSCLE,that way he can get what he wants,and also can add $$ to your $200.00 budget. just my $02.
PS. American Muscle is a vendor on this site,good luck and Merry Christmas.

Maybe (unless he already has them) an aluminum coolant overflow tank, or struts for the hood to replace the prop rod??
I like the hood strut idea if he doesn't have them. I love my Redline Struts.

How about a GT500 rear splitter? They really look nice and are about $150 straight from your Ford dealer. That's even a better deal than what American Muscle sells them for.

I like the gift card idea.....unless you KNOW what he wants it's better to let him pick.

and a weekend away with the nightgown.

Part 2:

he already has a nice car and a girl that knows stuff about it what else does he really need? Why not buy me something instead?

I'm hoping for a set of Continental DW 255-40/19's

This is a strange first post. It's weird how much you know about his car and it's not exactly common for a mustang to have over 1000 horses at the crank (712 rwhp?!?). If this car is real it must already have tens of thousands put in to it, what's 200 going to do? Get him some floor mats?
does he have a oil catch can? if not, UPR and Peterson are nice. Does he have line-lok for the rear brakes? Does he have aftermarket speakers for the radio? A lightweight aluminum jack to keep in the car? LED lights for everywhere.
200 bucks worth of leinenkugel Bavarian Dunkel. (and the nightgown, white, short, low back.):wink:

5ohlow,

I think it's great that you obviously pay a lot of attention to his car. He has carefully picked the prerfomance upgrades that suit him. If I were you I wouldn't try to "guess-buy" performance items because it's clearly a personal decision he will have to make.

I like the nightgown / Night out suggestion. If the gift MUST be something for the car, then I like the gift card idea too.

Good luck & Merry Christmas.

I wouldn't buy anyone an exterior styling piece unless they've hinted that they wanted one. It's too personal an item.
Does he race it? Does he have a shift light? Maybe look into the raptor shift lights if they're still around. They are small to where he could hide it behind an a/c vent. You wouldn't have to worry about buying something that he didn't want seen or whatever. They're around $200.
Nite on the town? Meh, it depends how often they get out. A nite out means more to a middle aged cat w kids at home than it does to a 20 something who's running down the road 90 miles an hour with his hair on fire.
How much is racing school?
