ebay parts? yay or ney?
So i have 3 things that I'm ordering:
Spoon style mirrors (manual)
New gauge cluster (with tach)
Stock front light housings
so i found all three on eBay and i was wondering if you guys would go the ebay route for smaller parts such as those three.
thanks in advanced.

ebay isnt all that if you know who your dealing with and are buying genuine parts. and some parts you just cant find so theres ebay thats a cool route

Alright, i think ill just order them. I Guess if anything goes bad its like 200 total so its not a huge loss, but it would still suck pretty bad.

Just don't go the super cheap route on parts. When I ordered my "spoon style mirrors" for my EF back in the day I paid about $120 for them and they were perfect fitment. I had to purchase some cheap mirrors to throw on my EK to sell and bought the $40 ones and they were horrible. They didn't line up at all, had no seal, and let wind in like crazy.

Mirrors, there are some that fit fine, but beware of manual ones since you'll have to reach out the window to adjust the glass pane itself. I don't think it's a big deal though.
Cluster, only if you know it's good.
Stock headlights, can't go wrong.
I've bought lots of parts off of eBay and see nothing wrong with it. It's a good place to get the same parts you'd buy otherwise at a cheaper price and it's a little more secure than buying from some random person or website.

with ebay you go in to the deal not always knowing what you are buying but as a huge user of ebay you will def save a lot of money taking that route use you best judgement

Not really. I don't know about where you live, but around here Hondas/Acuras are pretty much sold before they make it off the tow truck. Not to mention a lot of times they want close to OEM prices on parts. Not to mention it's a lot more of an "ease" to sit at your computer and look on eBay.

u can get away with some ebay parts just buy from a seller with a good rating but i would buy from somewhere else rather then ebay but thats just my taste
