$150 present????

[Vokabulis]

i'm using my boyfriend's name right now and looking to see what i can get him for his 94 completly stock camaro. It's his birthday and I only have $150 to spend.

[BlowBye]

Hows about u send me the $150.00 and i'll send him a Get Well Card?

[Vokabulis]

:rolleyes ...

[BlowBye]

i have a box of condoms $50.00 and its his? Interested? comes with 150 lubricated

[Vokabulis]

Well, can I actually get a real answer for something he could use for his car? ... Appearance, performance, and stereo equipment will be considered

[ReznorZ28]

Well since you asked that question in the appearance form, I suppose you are looking for something cosmetic. I would get him some diamond clear turning lights & also a set of rear fill-in's for the CAMARO indentions in the rear... and maybe some overlays for his emblems. It really depends on the car. Give us a few more details... what color is the car? Does he already have a set color scheme? How is his interior? Anything would help.

thanks for the reply. the car is red with the black top and has t-tops. the interior is currently tan cloth but he is going to be changing it to black leather with red accents... the interior and exterior color scheme will be red and black i believe

[Brent94Z]

Guys, lets chill out on the off topic responses please. Thanks

I'd definitely get him a set of Red RK Sport Urethane letters. They are expensive ($50 or so) but in my opinion are much nicer than just the vinyl inserts.

Red carbon fiber

or just red

With the other $100 I'd get him a used FIPK (about $175 or so new).

Yea, in that case I would get hims some diamond clear corner lights, they run about $50-$60..

then I would get some black fill-in's for the CAMARO indents on the rear, it would really bring the rear of the car to life & for the good ones they cost around $55,

or you can get some overlays for around $15(the difference between the 2 is that one is an actual fill-in, as to the stickers actually have shape, and the cheaper ones are just flat stickers.

Those two things I think would make a vast difference in the appearance of the car, and are easy to install. Infact I already have the Rk Sport rear CAMARO fill-in, and just ordered the diamond clear corners today.

There are a number of cheap things that you can get.

The first, is a Hypertech 160 degree thermostat, it'll help his engine run 20 degrees cooler over stock and only costs like $20 at a local performance shop. If you can't find one there, check here:

http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...08&prmenbr=361

Also, to help out his suspension, you could get him a polyurethane torque arm bushing ($20)which benefits can be found here:

http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...73&prmenbr=361

Another suspension mod would be a panhard mod. ($99)

You could just blow all of it on a pair of http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...br=361subframe connectors (suspension) here:

You could also blow it all on fuel pressure regulators: http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...64&prmenbr=361

If he doesn't have a cold air intake, you could always find a decent one for $150.00 although the better ones (K&N & Moroso) run for $180.00.

You could get a Throttle Body Airfoil found here: http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...34&prmenbr=361

A BBK underdrive pulley (this mod is highly controversial as to how much power it gains-Horsepower AND how much power it drains-battery power) for $75 found here:

http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...16&prmenbr=361

You could get a hi-flo MAF (mass airflow sensor) housing found here:

http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...95&prmenbr=361

You could also get a Hurst C.A.G.S. Skip shift kit found here:

http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...29&prmenbr=361

Accel High pressure fuel filter, found here:
http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...21&prmenbr=361

K&N Air Filter can be found here:
http://www.performanceproducts.com/v...ndor_match.asp

There literally dozens more things you could get him.

Oil Filter, performance oil (royal purple), even a hood lock kit.


I've listed quite a few parts, I'm pretty sure the other guys will have even more to list for you.

[Vokabulis]

wow thanks for the great reply. that should be really helpful ... Brent94z what is a FIPK?

[catsnet]

get him a set of front, rear and turning signals GTS covers - they look great as a set and you'll defenatly get into $150. Probably will even have some money left if you find a good deal.
Let us know what you finaly deside get

It is a performance upgrade for the LT1. It is a cold air kit made by K&N. Basically, it replaces the stock filter/air box on teh LT1. The cold air kit on an LT1 is generally considered one of the best bang for the buck mods you can do. They typically cost around $175-$200 new but you can find them off and on in the for sale forum for $100 or so. If he doesn't have one of these already I'm sure he'll like it

i've been trying to get some information out of him as to what he wants and he agrees with a few of you on the clear corners and camaro fill ins. He has also suggested clear headlight covers, lowering springs, clear taillights, white gauges, and red dash bulbs. How much do these things cost so i can get an idea

[AW/whiteZ-28]

well you can cross off tail lights and lowering springs both over 150
