My dad just got an '08 Avalon; Special Ordered and arriving in two weeks.

What little gift can I get for it?

I don't want the gift to cost an arm and a leg; so please, no suggestions of 20" wheels or a Wald body kit...

Also, my dad drives like he should be driving an Avalon: conservative, well-mannered, and cushy. So please, no suggestions for turbochargers or coilovers for a 3" drop.

Thanks for your suggestions!

 

AIR SUSPENSION!!!





LOL J/K That's tough to work with, everything you said is anti-CL. How about some neck pads or the TOM'S lumbar back support pad, maybe even a fusa . Bippu style .

 

Avalon thermal mug

 

O.K. Someone has to tell me what "bippu" is...

 

Pine air freshener . . .

Does he have this already ? :



Does he like sheepskin seat covers ?

An Audiophile ? - aftermarket sound system, subwoofer kit etc.

 

I think the Avalon has that standard.

I rented one a year ago, and it had an OEM remote engine warmer/starter...

 

tint?

.........

 

bippu is "vip" in japanese

anyway, i say a good set of floormats?

 

toyota umbrella, coffee cup, polo shirt?
meguire's cleaning kit?

 

remote start or navigation if it didn't come with it?

 

WeatherTech floormats. I have a set in my LS, the parent's Sienna and I'm telling a friend to chuck his work out OEM Honda ones for them.

 

Portable navigation if the car doesn't already come with nav, or a nice set of Ping Golf clubs to take up some space in that large trunk.

 

Maybe I should rule out a few suggestions...

The Toyota Avalon my Dad ordered is the Limited version, so it has heated/cooled leather seats (seat covers or lumbar supports would be inappropriate), Navi with upgraded JBL sound system (portable Navi and stereo system are out of the question), and 18" polished wheels (no new wheels needed for Dad).

My Dad also works for Toyota HQ, so he has a bunch of Toyota products and clothing. Hell, he even has Toyota watches, calculators, and salt/pepper shakers.

Isn't it hard to think of a gift? We're so used to modding like crazy ( ), but it's difficult to mod subtly for the Avalon...

 

Window visors, tint, trunk organizer thing, air freshener, floor mats, nice pair of sunglasses for driving, upgraded speakers, rear headrest monitors for the passengers!

 

Splash guards? Clear Bra?
