• Give a friend who loves "hot rods" a gift that reflects his style.hot rod engine image by itsallgood from Fotolia.com
  
  If you have a friend who loves fast, slick cars, then consider purchasing a gift that reflects his or her personal preferences for cars. You should consider whether your friend is working on a car and could use a gift to help continue the refurbishing project. Otherwise, purchase a gift that your friend could use in his house to express his love of hot rods.
  
  

Cool Car Art

• Purchase a framed poster or canvas of a hot rod car that you know your friend loves. You can preview photographs and artwork of cars on art web sites that offer posters and photos, as well as the option of framing the art or having it transferred to a canvas. If your budget allows, get the artwork framed--especially if it is poster or photograph--so that it will not get damaged and has a good chance of being hung on a wall very soon after the gift recipient receives it.
  
  

Car Parts

• Consult with your friend and find out if there is a specific car part that he needs to help with his refurbishing project. Some examples are hub caps, a steering wheel or even car decals. If you are uncertain of which parts to buy, then consider making a custom "Hot Rod" gift certificate and providing the amount of money required to purchase the car part.
  
  

Car Decoration Kit

• If your friend is celebrating a special occasion such as a birthday or a wedding, then put together a personalized "car decoration kit." To put this kit together, include a customized flag that your friend can mount on her window, streamers, car-safe paint and decals.
