Default Ebay friend or foe?

There are thousands of parts on Ebay for civics.....my question is how much of it is legit? Such as the $10 headers......are they even worth the cardboard they're shipped in, or is it just a good buy?

It's pretty unanimous that those headers are trash. I use e-bay for 75% of my purchases though. I don't mind used parts, and if you don't either then e-bay is a great way to stretch your budget. But for performance parts, you should stick with names you know and try to find a deal on used stuff. What year Civic do you have? And what are you looking for?

I bought a '00 ex last month.....I did get a cold air intake and tower braces off Ebay but those are pretty hard to mess up. I'm looking for headers, hi-flow cat, wheels, you name it and I probably need it.

Someone was just selling a D series DC sports 4-1 header, but I can't find the post. I think it was "Cre8tunes." Do a member search and look at his recent posts for it.

One phrase... With ebay, keep your friends close and you enemies closer.
