Re: EXTREME NEW-B (92b16ahatch)
welcome aboard... you can click on some of this forums sponsors and find parts (www.passwordjdm.com) 
or just for odds and ends maybe hit up ebay here and there...but dont trust anything ebay that you dont know for sure what it is(a knock off) or if its used. but i would also try google and look some things up... youll be very suprised how honda guys stick together and help other enthusts(sp?) out. Good luck in finding parts and welcome to the world of saving gas and going fast

as ur first order oppose to what 99EeeKay said
Don't try to go with fads and go all JDM to try to make it look cool, because with the growing number of JDM jackasses around, it's really dying fast
(JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market), By US parts for it.....if it makes you feel ne better they were probably manufactured in Japan....or Mexico w/ all the outsourcing...
Anyways, he's right though, DON'T buy from ebay STORES, personal buys are okay, but not from the stores, the parts don't last....
Iono about the people helping other honda enthusiasts....I guess that's possible when it comes to helping with problems on HT......but iono anything beyond that....
Main point:
Don't feel all ur parts should be JDM to join what other pples do, but don't be afraid to get them
Some pple love JDM, some people think it's pointless....which it is....
