I need some help picking out a Fathers Day Gift. I'd like to get my dad something for his mustang. Its a 1995 V6, Lazer Red, Black interior, manual tranny. He wants new headlights, and maybe a shifter, but i dont know if i want to spend that much money on him lol. Whats something cheap i could get him for his car?

Thanks,
Matt

If you can't get him what he wants maybe some special tools, jack stands, creeper or something for him to work on his Mustang with.

He'd like some headlights, but $130 seems a lot to spend. I could find a used shifter, i'm thinking getting him a creeper, and some more tools or something.

Wyt - Seat Covers?? Probably "Type R" Ones

Stop being cheap the man feeds you and houses you. The least you can do is unload some dough . Hey, I got it detail the crap out that mofo. Use your newly discovered "how too" to make that puppy bling.

yea dude i totally agree you can't cheap out on your dad man......for his bday last year my 2 bros and i all split the cost for a really nice 3 ton floor jack, and we had a bbq for him along with the extended family cause his bday was also fathers dayt last year.......this year i think i wanna take him tot he old time drags at etown cause he loves those old gasser alterds, and we dont see very many on regular race days at etown.........my suggestion is to go and get a meguires "super detail pack" or somethin like that cause i forget the name.....its $20 and you both should detail the hell outta the cars all day, and cook on the bbq.....there nothing better man.......good luck
