Default Help please!

My boyfriend has a 2010 Camaro and absolutely adoresss it. I'm trying to think of a good Christmas gift for him, but don't really know much about cars, let alone camaros. Does anyone have any suggestions of a good thing for his car I could get him, preferably under 100$?? Anything suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

I do not know what the factory floor mats look like on a new Camaro but there are aftermarket floor mats that have "Chevrolet - Heartbeat of America" and others that do dress up the interior. These are available through most catalog companies and should be around 80-100 dollars I believe. A California Car duster is cheaper, around 25 dollars, and is always a good gift for a car fan. If he is in to Camaros in general there are many books on the history of Camaros.

Talking tranny woes

Hey Steven,

your customer is suffering from a pretty common problem that the automatic tranny cars have....its skipping shifts at low speed. I have several friends that have encountered this and cured the problem with a "skip shift eliminator". Call West Coast Camaro 888-737-8388 ext 232 and talk to Paul. The part number for this part is 11122120 and cost a whopping $19.95. Its easy to install yourself and only takes a few minutes and no tools.

Once this is done,your customer will enjoy his car 100% of the time!
