So my girlfriend wants to spend $200 on a car part for my birthday...
...I told her that she can give me $200 toward my next mod because everything is out of her price range.
Am I wrong? Prophylactic IC Pump, ZZ or FB H/E, could have my wheels powdercoated, $200 toward a diffuser or front lip, iPod integration, bluetooth.
Is there anything I didn't think of?
Only stipulation is that my car is not made any louder by said mod. She told me that she almost didn't date me because my car at the time was too loud [FWIW we're going on 3 years now]

I bet your roads are a lot better than the ones in my neighborhood.
Shardul says he'll star drop me at the next C&C event, and if I'm already raping my bumper on these roads in sport II without even washer dropping the car, a front lip would be scary stuff. I bet the first crunch hurts the worst

Great idea though, thanks for the reply.

$200 gift certificate at a gas station.
Oil prices are sneaking way up. Stock prices on XOM, CVX, etc. are climbing dramatically. XOM is almost at $80 from a low of $56 not too long ago.
Get ready for high gas prices this summer.

I'll second this notion, I'll guarantee that prices are going up. But that's good for my wallet incidentally [happily].

I love my AMG pedals I just got from jbspeed, great product, and add a roof spoiler to the rear window. Both are right at $200 for the pair. The TTM intake scoops would look sick on a black car in viper red like Bruce did for me.
BTW, got traps

Tell your girlfriend to take that money and buy something special at Victoria secret and then she can deliver the balance in a gas card in said outfit

She insists that she wants to buy a car mod so that she can point to it and say, "that's the diffuser that I bought you!"
She walked by an M6 with one of her coworkers the other day, and he was like, "what a pretty car, look at those side vents." She turned to him and said, "I like the carbon fiber roof better." He shat bricks. I've trained her well.
She's also not so bad with the cars:

The last thing she needs is more clothes. And trust me, when it comes down to it, clothes are worthless. They always look better on the floor.
And I'm the one that's shopping Louboutins for our dual 3 year anniv/valentines day coming up...kill me.

Hey IDEA Doc! Not sure if you are into them but those 5.5 badges are not half bad looking and can't be more than 100 bucks.
I forget who sells them now but someone was making um awhile back.
Be cake to pop off the old and put on the new and she would dig it.
Just brainstormin with ya brotha..
They go in place of the Kompress logo on the side.

So I benefit, too. Only downside is my profits will also get eaten up by the same company that gave me those profits with their higher gasoline prices. The big corps always win in the end.
