Best purchase for a w124 under $50?

Well guys, as most of you know, my car is far from complete. I still plan on getting new lights, dropping it (waiting for an open rack), installing my amp...etc.

So what I'm wondering is what's the best thing I could get for the car for under 50 dollars on ebay? My mom gave me a prepaid giftcard with $55 on it. What should I get? LOL

I second that one.

But if you must get something for your car, I say (as long as nothing is broken) maybe a shifter knob, or grill insert.

Fuzzy dice and an 8-ball shifter.

I say either air filter, oil filter and oil change. Or a transmission filter/fluid change. Good things to take care of before it starts getting cold.

I was thinking about a grille insert, or either "AMG" foot pedals. I doubt they're real, at only $39.99..

I've got neons, or rather, I've got neon. The one crapped out on me and needs replacing. I put them inside the car in the front driver/passenger footwells to give the car some much needed ambient lighting. They only come on when the headlights are on. I'd then cast my vote for two 10" neon tubes (I went with red) and mounting hardware (plastic C clips with screw hole). Should put you at about 50$

Since my dad is also my mechanic, I get winterized for free whenever he wants to do it. As for the neons, I already have them. I have 3 blue LED's on each side lighting up the foot-wells now. And also have 3 more on each side in the back.

Lol...so..any other ideas?

I mounted them on the bottom of the front seats kinda facing towards the back of the car. It gives it a substantial amount of light in the car at night, without being obnoxious or attracting attention.

Naice, that's what I'm thinking. That, or recess them in the floor vents under the seats. Not sure if they make neon tubes that small though...

I know they have 2 and 3 inch tubes up here in local auto parts stores. Maybe search around ebay for a small tube or a small strip of LEDs
