Do these numbers look right for ball parks?

any places I don't have a brand, if ya would recomend one, I would grealty appreceate(sp) it, cause I have no idea where to start on some of this ****

 

the $500 header and exhaust is a little expensive. go to ebay and the header is like $270 and im sure the exhaust isnt that much either. ebay has some nice glow gauges too. i got mine for $40 on ebay shipped. alot of people like infinity speakers and say they are pretty good. i got alpines but they arent installed yet so i cant tell ya if they are worth the $220 i spent or not.

 

go with cheapo ebay strut bars... they work good and are MUCH cheaper. I think that's the general consensus (spelling?) on this forum...

 

thanks, just the review I was looking for

 

rule #1 about aftermarkets... never get an aftermarket moon/sun roof, or aftermarket car alarm/electronic locks they dont function as well as if it was stock the roof leaks, and the locks will most likely short out.

#2 always seal headlights/ tail lights w/ clear silicone b4 installing to prevent condensation build up.

i also wouldnt order a hood or any other body items unless i got a full kit cuz some aftermarket stuff will stick up and wont fit properly.

 

go ebay on your performance parts... are you running a 7th gen?

 

yeah, a 2001 civic EX

 

got any pics?

 

nope, it's totally stock, my goal is to get all this done 'overnight' and own the Ride of the Month for that month

now that it seems I have a steady job for a few years atleast, I'm starting to look at turbos, no clue where to start, I want a new kit, and those are expensive as ****

 

the only thing about ebay is you can get screwed over sometimes, cause there are also a lot of cheepo(not just for price) parts out there, if anyone here reads modified mag then you have most likely read the article in the november issue about counterfit parts. and i personally got screwed when i got Xenon bulbs for my car, i paid $15 canadian for them and they turned out to be just as bright as the stock headlights only blue instead of yellow( no wonder the guy was going under). so the only advise i have is BUYER BEWARE!
