Father's day gift suggestions

My father recently bought a '91 silver, which he adores. I'd like to get him an NSX related father's day gift, I have a few ideas, like a shift knob, but not sure. Any suggestions in the $100 range?

Lots of ideas come to mind, including:
  • NSXCA membership
  • scale model
  • his favorite wax/car care products
  • bra
  • mats
  • car cover
  • radar detector
  • driving gloves
  • professional detail
  • etc.
Have fun!

Good suggestions Phoen$x, but I already got him the NSXCA membership for his bday, he already has a bra, 2 models, and mats. Maybe I'll go with the wax, are there any nice wax, cleaner etc. kits out there?

Any other ideas?

You don't wanna go there, trust me.

How about Getaway In Stockholm, chrome license plate frame, metal coolant bottle, or smartenna (I know it's a little more than you spent, but it sounds like he's got everything else).

I would get him the Gruupe M shift knob.

It is very small, and really makes the tranny feel awesome. My GF got me one for Valentines day and I must say it is the favorite change that I have made to the car (with the SOS carbon/mesh shift boot of course). You can get it from Chris at Science of Speed 877-863-4520.

It is not expensive, easy to install in moments, and will make the car feel better every single time it gets driven. Not expensive, but quite possibly the best gift I have been given in a long time!

I got my Dad the NSX-R spoiler. Another suggestion is the Mugen Oil and/or Radiator Cap, or check Dali Racing for some nice aesthetic engine parts.
