Gift Ideas?

Under threats of getting an Old Spice gift set, I've been requested to submit some ideas for Father's Day. I've been kicking around a couple of ideas but can't really decide which one to get (I'm thinking I'm working with $150 limit):

Euro Parcle shelf - can get for under $120 from England
Whalen shift knob
Strut Tower Defenders - either M7 or Craven

Decisions, decisions.....

On Marketplace -- not too far away:
>>M7 STB - Strut Tower Bar, Reinforcement Plates, Hardware $150<<

I have new/used M7 Mushroom plates. Are you boys impressed or what?

Brian without a doubt it has to be a 15% reduction pulley!!! It is the biggest bang for the buck mod bar none for your MINI. Once installed you will ask yourself how you ever lived without it???

My second pick would be the plate of mushrooms. Mmmm mushrooms....


The next would be the europeeon parcel shelf.

Last would be that very expensive shift knob. Nice but very costly.

The 15% pulley is on my wishlist, but I holding out hope for a bonus later this year that will pay for the pulley and the install.

Does anyone have any opinions on the M7 vs. Craven plates?

Either are good. I'd go with M7, but that is just me. I have them & they have kept my strut towers fungus free for 57,000 miles.

Or maybe they went the budget route and got him Hai-Karate?

No Old Spice and no car parts. M.A.D. and Lil' B.A.D. surprised me with a new watch M.A.D. may be more inclined to me buying car parts after seeing the prices of a couple of the watches that I have been checking out recently.
