Christmas Gift

Hello evry one, new here.

I want to get My father something nice for christmas and I thinking of surprising him with a mod for his CLK. I really want to show him my appreciation so i am willling to spend a good amout of money. I was think mybe some lorinser side skirts or something If i can find were to get em. Any suggestions you guys have would be great.

I would like to either spend 600$ on one piece or 600$ for a bunch of minor mods. I would really really like to add something to his interior if possible but i cant really find anything beside guage faces.
Here is a list of some stuff I was thinking about and please make any suggestions for other mods, or specific components.

-floor mats
-seatbelt modification of some kind maybe
-shift knob(suggestions?)
-pedals(my father has one leg so he drives an automatic)
-White guagesw/ chrome rings
-Chrome side, tail and headlight trim.

any ideas you get please post!



Thanks! take it easy.
-Maximilian

O, and its black, covertible

For $600 bucks I would go with smaller mods. Get the SL pedals (under $75), illuminated door sills (about $150) to start.
