STOCKING STOOFERS THIS CHRISTMAS

 

Christmas is less than two weeks away, and for you procrastinating shoppers (aren’t we all?), there is still time to get something small, yet thoughtful enough to please the car people and gearheads in your life. Browsing our website here at SubiSpeed, we understand that customizing, maintaining, or modifying cars is on par with owning a yacht in Monaco. It’s not cheap, yet for many car enthusiasts, this culture is what makes us work hard every day to hear turbo noises, drive in freedom in something fun, and to participate in sanctioned events.

If you own any of the vehicles that SubiSpeed specializes in such as The Subaru WRX, STI, BRZ, and other models such as the Crosstrek, and Outback among others, then you’ll know what you’re going to get yourself. If you’re the shopper, make sure that you figure out exactly what year and make of the car you’re shopping for because most components here are model-specific. Now you’re not going to be able to fit a cat-back exhaust or a turbo kit in your conventionally sized stocking, so we are going to focus on the smaller items that will make for awesome gifts. And to help you narrow down what parts fit the Subaru you’re shopping for, just look at the top of the website where you can select the year and make of that Subaru, and the website should auto-populate with components that will fit that vehicle. Now let’s get on with our suggestions.

 

SubiSpeed Gift Card

This will be the perfect choice honestly because not only will it easily fit in the stocking, but it also takes the guesswork out of the shopper especially if you don’t really know anything about cars other than how to drive them. You can choose from $10 and up to $225 where the gearhead in your life can buy something fun or use the gift card to go towards something bigger.

 

 

DRAIN PLUGS

Cusco Drain Plug M20x1.5

 

Fumoto Quick Engine Oil Drain Valve

 

Simple yet effective. The Cusco oil drain plug is magnetic to further catch any harmful metallic elements floating in your oil. The Fumoto unit makes changing oil less of a mess by simply turning the valve open as opposed to removing the drain plug with hot oil splashing on your hand during oil changes. This is a great gift for the Subaru enthusiast who performs their own maintenance and oil changes.

 

WRX Black Leather Wallet

 

This wallet is just under $5. Hard to believe right? Well, when you’re a car enthusiast you will spend most of your disposable income on mods anyways. Might as well have something to look at on the bright side of things when you’re broke like most of us.

 

 

TOW HOOKS

 

Small enough to fit in the stockings, loved by enthusiasts who go to car shows and car meets. These add a race-inspired look to the exterior of your Subaru and are available in a few different powder-coated finishes.

 

 

DETAIL SPRAYS AND WAXES/POLISHES

Detail Spray is an all-around awesome gift because you can keep this in the trunk of your car with a few microfibers to wipe off dust before car meets or wipe off bird droppings while out just before they have a chance to bake into your paint. There are also a great selection of waxes and polishes available for you to get that paint cleaned up when the weather gets warmer this spring.

 

 

LUG NUTS

Another great stocking stuffer as most Subaru enthusiasts will have a set of aftermarket wheels. We carry a large variety of lug nuts in many different colors, lengths, open ended to closed, and many will come with their own locking lug nut for added security.

 

 

SHIFT KNOBS

You know we won’t make a blog without listing a shift knob. But that is because they are small, very rewarding as they breathe new life in the interior, and most of all, they’ll fit nicely into a stocking. Several affordable options available to add a nice touch to the interior of any Subaru equipped with a manual transmission.

 

INJECTORS

Not gonna lie, this is a little over the top, and only should be purchased that the person for whom you are Christmas gifting to specifically said they wanted a very specific injector because these just won’t fit anything. We chose these because you guessed it, they’ll fit into a stocking. Please be sure you know exactly what you’re buying because these are specific and won’t just fit any Subaru. But any enthusiast building their Subaru to make more power knows that they’ll have to upgrade their injectors. This also means that they’ll know whether they are top feed or side feed.

 

 

BLOW-OFF VALVES

These are the little units that make the cool noises between shifts that make non-car people tilt their head like a confused dog every time a Subaru does a fly by. There are several options that are direct bolt-on. This means that on this Christmas, they can take it out of the stocking and bolt it right onto their Subaru.

 

 

ACCESSPORT

Lastly, this will be the most important mod that any Subaru gets. In fact, if the person for whom you are shopping for has a modded Subaru, 9/10 times they will have a COBB Tuning Accessport. This is a programmable plug-and-play engine management that allows the mods in the Subaru to all work seamlessly to make sure the car is making the power delivery as smooth and efficient as possible.

 

This is our list of ideas that you can choose from for yourself, you that special someone in your life that drives a WRX, STI, BRZ, or any other Subaru that they like to fiddle with. Of course, there are also several other smaller options available on our site while window shopping. We want to wish everyone a happy holidays, and hope that you have a nice relaxing end to the year with whatever it is that brings you happiness.
