Gift Ideas For People Who Are Passionate About Their Cars
(ARA) - Is there someone on your holiday list who would rather spend time in a chilly garage putting the finishing touches on their car’s detailing than sit by the fire with a nice cup of hot chocolate? If so, you’ve probably given them car related gifts in the past -- car wash gift certificates, a waxing kit, tools.
What can you buy for the car buff that has everything? The car enthusiasts at Lund International have a few suggestions that are sure to please. The company will be introducing over 50 new products in time for holiday giving. “These innovative, fun styling products let car owners express their personality and customize their vehicles,” says Lund’s Jodi Moulzolf.
Among the new products are a variety of exciting accessories for sport compacts, sold under the Auto Ventshade (AVS) brandname. Sure to be popular with car customizers are the new EVO-style scoop and sport compact cowl induction scoop. The EVO scoop has metal grille inserts to create a simulated performance hood look. Both the scoops use no drill installation and mount with concealed 3M tape for easy assembly. The scoops are made of durable molded high impact ABS material that is easily painted to match factory colors.
For a different look, AVS has introduced carbon fiber-look hood scoops and turbo vents. These accessories are finished with a hydrographic, clear coat process that provide a high definition, carbon fiber look. “They’re ready to install, eliminating the need for painting,” explains Moulzolf.
For a complete makeover, AVS offers body kits which include front air dams, rear air dams, side skirts and downdraft. The company also sells a four-piece flare kit. These cutting edge styles complement many of today’s most popular sport compact vehicles such as the Ford Focus, Dodge Neon, Honda Civic, Acura RSX, Toyota Celica, Acura Integra and Mitsubishi Lancer. The components, made from a proprietary ABS polymer blend, are sold as individual pieces or as complete kits.
All of the add-ons from AVS are carefully designed and manufactured to look like factory original equipment once they’re installed.
And don’t worry if you don’t know as much about customizing as the person you’re buying for. Auto Ventshade makes choosing the right products easy with the “Fit me up” feature on its Web site. Simply enter the make, model and year of the car you’re buying for, and you’ll be directed to products designed to fit that vehicle.
If you’re handy, part of the gift can be an offer to spend some quality time with the recipient, helping to install the new gear. If neither you nor the recipient is up to the job, consider adding a gift certificate from a local custom shop for installation.
