What percent of your mods came from eBay?
 
Be honest :sweet:

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.

Other than E-bay, I don't know what stores to look at????
Any links?

0. i bought all my shit at a local motorsport shop called kiyoshis. you can visit them at www.kiyoshis.com. if you live in fresno, they can get stuff really cheap for you and the shipping is FREE! hella cheaper than ebay! woohoo!

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 :p

BassKadett 05-22-2004 02:52 PM

I'm a eBay whore so all of my car shit came from there. Wheels and tires, tails, head unit, eyelids, subs and amp....thats it I guess...damn I need to do more to my car.

sw388integra 05-22-2004 02:54 PM

2k2EXCOUPE 05-22-2004 06:10 PM

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.

jttegx 05-23-2004 01:19 PM

subs/amp/capacitor/bulbs/coilovers

PopcornPlaya 05-23-2004 04:04 PM

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.

Quijano187 05-23-2004 04:40 PM

70 percent of money goes to ebay kid

dapakione 05-23-2004 08:54 PM

i would say, rear spoilers, side mirrors, and yea thas about it, and id say im not happy wit it, but i had no cash and i needed a side mirror, so for the price im happy...

Boilermaker1 05-23-2004 09:21 PM

$29 out of nearly $7,000... so give or take 0.4%.... all I've bought was a used Integra Airbox to retrofit into the car.

civicdude 05-24-2004 07:11 AM

moving to members rides

Jrfish007 05-24-2004 07:34 AM

I got my first mod from ebay, a AEM V2 intake for 175 shipped, great deal. Everything else has been off this website except the rims. I can never seems to find a deal on ebay that I can't beat online somewhere.

blouisgod 05-24-2004 07:52 AM

I only bought a rear strut bar and a cheap SRI for winter usage.

mndthegap1 05-24-2004 01:48 PM

white2K2EX 05-24-2004 03:32 PM

I've never bought a car part from EBAY. That would bring me to zero.

RS4DUKE 05-24-2004 03:46 PM

NADA, haven't found anything i wanted yet

born2xLr8 05-24-2004 05:42 PM

All my stuff came from this site (group buys, FS forum) or local shops. I haven't turned to ebay for anything yet.

streetglower 05-24-2004 06:03 PM

I ordered some TYC heads and tails from some guy on ebay, they came messed up though. My first set of indigos came from ebay, were pieces of shit though, just threw them away after 2 minutes of looking at them.

acidbaby 06-05-2004 10:51 PM

80% but all name brands used or sold for clearance

AutoK20A3 06-05-2004 11:00 PM
