Default Where's the best place to buy upgrades online?

I've been searching around looking for the best site to buy quality parts for my civic and just wanted to check with everybody. Maybe somebody has some hidden gem of a site that I never saw. Whats the best site with the best prices to buy performance parts for civics?

I wasn't really sure where to post this anywhere so I posted it here...

that bad thing about ebay is the fact that most of the things on their are poor copies that do more harm than good....
i would use procivic.com if you have the money to get good name-brand stuff...

I like Procivic also, because unlike ebay, you have customer service, and probably a much better return policy. The negative aspect to most of these so called wholesale dealers on ebay is that their businesses are running on cruise control. You can't usualy get a comment answered, or any information other then the automatic ebay generated payment menus, and if you have a problem, you might try forever getting in touch with the customer.

I just got a set of projectors last week, that should be here today *crosses fingers*, but as i looked around, I noticed that the seller doesn't even leave feedback, for anyone, and the grammer in their auctions are pretty bad, so I doubt I would even want to try and discuss a return if they were dammaged.

And if you notice, alot of negative feedback floating around these auto part sellers lately, its kind of a 50/50 shot that you will have a good trade. You have to take the risk if you want to save the money I guess.

Hereis alink I have. For body kits and what not:

you guys just need to learn how to shop smart, like if your buying a large part for your car or expensive part, look at the parts website and find all of their registered dealers that are authorized to carry the part. it just takes a little more research. ebay isn't the only sketch site to buy from, there are hundreds of sites that aren't worth buying from
