Be honest

My only eBay mod was my rear upper strut bar. So out of intake, header, rims, tires, front upper strut, rear upper strut, and rear sway bar, that makes 1/7 of my mods come from eBay.

Note: I don't only mean "eBay brand" (generic stuff). I mean any part that you got through eBay.

75% from eBay and I have yet to get ripped off (smart shopper). Ebay just has the best deals on stuff most of the time... mudguards, foglights, grill, panasonic head unit, tires, power windows, power doorlocks; all i can think of right now.

5% HondaAutomotiveParts.com (oem EX conversions)
15% from other auto owners (rims, bumper, fenders, headlights)
5% from the shop that I have install stuff (pioneer cdchanger, viper alarm)


I dont have all too much done on my car anyways

0% AKA Nada.

I buy from Robear Racing or Dezod Motorsports. I buy a few things locally if shipping is quite expensive and I can get a good deal round here.

0 percent. I usually try to order direct from the manufacturer, or get them from various other sites on the net. There or at NOPI (it's local to me, though I have only bought one thing from them, the teezas I got the first week I had my car. They stayed on for a grand total of a month. Worst mod ever.
