well Niki, if he is a serious ford fan, he'd be on the forums already!! Maybe an Austrlian Ford Forum sticker for his car?
What budget - is his XR8 standard, or has it had some "work" done to it? He might be pretty happy with a edit chip when and if they come out. Approx. $1500, but should unleash a bit of hidden power and performance, as well as help his beast to run on a little less of the premium for every 100km... |

How stock is the XR8? He'd probably love a set of extractors if he doesn't already have some, or maybe some superlow springs?

There are a couple of ford outlets, 'What's new?' is one.
Depends on your budget.

You can buy them. If you're in Queensland you could try contacting Queensland Raceway or one of the V8 Supercar teams, you should be able to find the information you need from them.
