WORST PRODUCTS!!!
I would like to start a post about the worst QUALITY, or NON-WORKING, DEFECTIVE etc... parts. Please do not post about rice or what you think is nice or not. I only want 1st hand or "i saw my friend and..." NOT "I heard". I would like to make a helpful link worth of being a stickey link for all users to read.
I know we have a review forum but i think this would more easily let people know what NOT to buy. You may post about rice type prducts (big wings or window washer LEDs) but ONLY if there is something wrong with the performance of a product and not the fact that you just think it's tackey.
Good Example: I bought a pair of washer LEDs and they were 2 different shades in the same pack.
Bad Example: Washer LEDs suck @ss
Please, am just trying to help everyone out.

Rep Power: 0 Actually my example is true...well almost. Here's how i would personally like to see as a post for ease of product finding put product first. Here's my true story.
OPTIX Tire LED:
My GF bought 2 pair of blue OPTIX LED's. One package contained 2 that were different shades and then the other 2 out of the other package didnt want to come on at even highway speed.

Tornado air intake / ram air kit DOES NOT WORK. Search it youll find tons of first hand experience posts.
Monster double decker aluminum wings and terminator (whale tail) blow-mold wings are USELESS on civics since they cannot get to a fast enough velocity to become useful for downforce on the vehicle. Stick with a factory spoiler for LOOKS...
ANY generic intake kit from e-bay. That was my first mod when i got the car and couldnt justify 250 bucks for an AEM or INJEN intake cold air kit, so i got a cheap 50 dollar kit off e-bay. BIG mistake. The moutning clip broke at the welds within weeks and the filter came dry, and with no instructions on what type of oil to use on the filter element.
If i think of more, ill post them later.
