REAL JDM parts cost money. Sometimes RIDICULOUS amounts of money for even the smallest of parts. If you don't have the budget most of them will be far outside your reach. Something to think about.

J=Japanese D=Domestic M=Market.
In a nutshell (someone else can come along and fill in details and/or clarify/correct me) this means the parts are/were made by Honda for cars sold in Japan. So ask yourself if Honda ever made a carbon fiber door panel.

More than likely you are looking at "JDM Style" parts-cheap knockoffs not worth even considering.

You can buy the "Type R" door panels with the red inserts. Those are legit. You can find a few sets on Ebay. $250-$350 depending on condition.

Start looking here.

Hmmm, I've never seen EK9 door panels on an EG...

And what does "legit" mean... lol

This is what I'm talking about. Focus on actual style and performance and not labels and BS.

$700 will get you a good coilover kit. Not much after that. Invest in alarm probably.

Not really. If the bushings are sound you should be fine keeping the stock arms. HOWEVER!!!...the bolts have been known to break off. Have some spares handy just in case.

An alignment. Replace any bushings that look worn or are torn. RTA bushings come to mind. If you have it in your future budget a set of good tires should be high up on the list.

Hey lil dude for about $50-75 you can get a coilover lowering kit. This will allow you to adjust the height of your ride from a 1 inch - 4 inch drop.

http://tiny.cc/duhshit****

You can also get stereo ****. Subs amps hell at most pawn shops you can pick up a pair of Kicker Comps or Solo Barics for 150 in the box.

For real mini guy there is not a lot of things you can do. I just purchased the cylinder head for my f22a and that was 200 alone. my intake was 175, exhaust 115, and my interior is gonna run me 300. But the difference is I do all my own fabrications and mods.
