Default Going to Hong Kong what should I pick up?

I know a few shops in HK but I'm wondering what parts are substantially cheaper over in HK. Anythign rare that I should pick up or look for?
I think the max I can spend on my car is around $2k any sights that I should see while I'm there?

Dunno how competitive the prices are at those shops in Mong Kok...I heard they bundle the parts with install labor

Where in HK are you staying? Lots of good food...Maxim's in Causeway Bay (same building as the Mitsukoshi Dept. Store) is great for dim sum and Hong Kong style seafood

Seibu Dept. Store and Lane Crawford at Pacific Place (Admiralty) has some awesome sales on clothing right now

PS - get an OCTOPUS card

lol I still have my octopus card from 2 years ago.. I wonder if it still works? I'm staying with family in Causeway bay but I know my way around HK.

I have never shopped for car parts in HK so i'm really curious as to what they offer.

I recently came back from hong kong and picked up at Pivot Shift Light (the one that plugs into the cig lighter) for $350 HKD --> about $45 american. These suckers go for about $100 in the states. I had to bargain with them to get it for that much tho.

Ohhh, one thing I regret not picking was those Bitchargers remote control cars. You can find them on the street markets for $49 HKD --> about $7 bucks for one. I didn't see them in Mongkok, but the other street market place where they sell power tools and stuff. They go for at least $20 here. You can bring me one back for mentioning it

Altezzas, they have the largest selection you'll find anywhere, except for SoCal of course.
