where does everyone buy their car stuff from?

what websites does everyone buy their stuff from? thought this would be a good idea to get a bunch of sites listed to compare some prices. i usally buy from nopi.com, speedpeople.com, sounddomain.com and if i get really hard up for something, ebay.

I bought my foglights from procarparts.com, as well as my brake lights.. but ebay is how I got them... procarparts sells on ebay. $68 for brake lights... and they're selling for over 200 on the website. foglights were $99, and no instructions!! don't email them for help, as they don't care, they got your money. I plugged in a 4 connector wire somewhere in my center console, (from directions I found online) and my car turned off... I thought it was a cool trick, so I gave up on the connector, and spliced this wire into my "illumination" wire from the radio, voila.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Wherever is cheaper. I get good deals here in the Marketplace section. I get good deals from Ebay. I go to google.com and search for a specific product and the website that sells it. Then I look for discount codes and coupons, so that I can pay even less. Check out some of the prices on my Member's Rides page. Those prices include shipping and are rounded up to the nearest dollar. Some prices are ultra low since I sometimes got two of something and I paid for only one of them. Then I sold the extra one and I deduct the price from the total. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I got my Kamanri lip kit for 825 shipped from nopi, that wasn't bad, considering trucking was 150 bucks.
