Red face met a guy selling parts, but doesn't know much about them

i met this guy today tellin me he was driving by and saw my car. he said he's gettn rid of his car. he wanted to know if I was interested in any of the aftermarket parts he had. He wanted to seel or trade + $$. but the weird thing was he talked like he knew our civic d17, but when i would ask questions he answered like a brand dropper ricer. Dc sports this and tanabe that. then i asked him about camber kits and lowering and he tells me that he heats up springs and cuts them. i was like no way, thats gettto! i didn't say that, but yah. he also told me that a turbo system doesn't fit on our engines! i left that one alone. anyways, he wants to trade

some DC headers for stock.
tanabe cat-back for stock
CF tails for stock
DC upper front bar.
and a bunch of stereo stuff.

i'm looking at his car tomorrow to see what's the deal.
i'd like to trade for even steven stock and no extra cash. but i guess that's being a cheap bastard. LOL

I totally felt like that guy in that one video of this owner with a mustang talking about all these honda parts he's got in his mustang. All riced out. and the camera man asking ? and answering like he has no idea.

DC headers
tanabe cat-back
DC upper front bar.
stereo parts
Will all fit.

CF tails will fit as long as you both of you have coupes or if you both have sedans.

A little. I mean if its a real tanabe cat-back system and not a fake and its not beat up the guy could probably sell if for $200 + stock exhaust system depending on which one it is. And the Dc sports header could get maybe $100 or more and the Dc sports upper strut bar sucks I have one it mainly just for looks. So I would lowball him and offer him $150 plus ur stock parts for the header, exhaust. I don't know what stereo stuff the guy is selling so I can't help you there. I don't know if I helped you or not but thats just my personal opinion on some of the stuff.
