I like the "lethal voltage". Not good to be shocked, but almost looks as if it's there to impress people. Benn hit numerous times and I'm not dead yet.
For dress up, I can see this stuff, but that's about it. I've heard reports that their wires aren't as good as OEM, so I'd be suspect. I've never seen any real proven data showing that their supposed increase in voltage (if any at all) is giving a notable performance gain over OEM. Same goes for their manufacturing quality and wire insulation class (overall reliability) being any better than OEM, if any.

I requested a short story for a title.

that coil MIGHT give you a little stronger spark, an aem fuel rail on a completely stock Honda engine will do nothing.

I have that exact coil for the past 3-4 yrs and just gives me stronger spark. But it's a good part and never gave me any problems, as for the wires I would go with ngk as that's what I have now.

Well that coil will be fine but a OEM one is always best for reliability. If you want to have some sort of bling to show under the clear distributor cap its fine why not if thats what you want.
Using a aftermarket fuel rail really doesnt have any much advantages unless you have a heavily modified engine that requires a bit more fuel flow and reduced fuel temp, but besides that it will allow you to use a aftermarket fuel guage as well as a nitrouse feed on the other end of the rail again something for a modified engine. But if you want something to stand out then its fine if thats what you want but no real advantage besides looks.

Re: should i buy this or not?
Many honda people will tell you aftermarket is the wrong way to go. I've never had a problem, but as far as reliability you really can't beat OEM. I would personally buy an OEM igintion coil all day long.
I have been running accel wires. There was more throttle response over the "auto parts store" brand wires but your wires are only going to put out what you attach to them. OEM ignition systems are good to many hundred horsepower. If I could get yellow NGK plug wires for my car I'd buy those instead of the accel!
