Fathers are often responsible, for better or worse, for many of us becoming certified car nuts. They took us to our first car races, showed us how to drive, helped us to appreciate beautiful cars and in many cases taught us how to wrench and maintain our vehicles. We owe them!

So on this special weekend when we honor our dads, we at Power & Performance thought it would be appropriate to put together a list of great automotive gifts that will help make this Father’s Day the best ever for the old man. So without further ado, here is our Father’s Day Gift Guide.

Unlike most bolt-on aero devices from other manufacturers, Chevy Performance Parts spoilers and wicker bills are available pre-painted in factory colors, eliminating the added expense and hassle of having to paint them.
