Default "jdm" ebay ef stuff lol

So I'm looking on ebay and I come across fender braces wtf? Help improve cornering is what it says but really I highly doubt it they will sell **** to any one who's stupid enough to fall for it. Like their springs, strut tower bars, lights, all that trash. Well here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-F...1%7C240%3A1318


What you think of that crap?

Yeah Ive seen them before and they just stiffen up the front end. It seems like a lot of work for such little gain.

they work better than any strut bar. But you don't see them and no bling factor so no one buys them

Gotta be careful on ebay. Sometimes you get "universal" crap that kinda fits but not really.

thats why they have buyer feedback. if its used jdm parts then just be careful, but if its jdm parts (only because they were made in china) then hold back on some shitty parts

did you actually click the links?
they aren't real SiR parts.
stock CRX climate control for $230, stock CRX steering wheel, possibly Si, or may even be from a different honda, for $100 + shipping.

ya i did, idk what a crx sir climate control looks like. i would have spent the time to research what it is before i buy it.

what i would say is you have to be crazy to spend that much money for such an oem part that noone notices. im not offending you but i think thats crazy :D, buy something more noticeable like an oem wing, sir lip, moldings, sideskirts etc

Might be a long shot, but the STi stamped aluminum ones go for 300, maybe that's where they got that number from.

I like the guy's bracelet lol!

Those look like GT Spec (which are knock offs to be gin with), knock offs.

yeah, you have to be careful. There is so much junk on ebay now, and since they pay for the listings, ebay encourages it. ebay used to be the best place to find oem and name brand parts, but now it takes so much time to sort, its hardly worth the time.

Now when I do a search for a crx part, unless its a specific part, I do "nearest first". that does help out a lot.

if there are parts you aren't sure about, ask someone before you spend $100 on a $20 steering wheel.

What I would do is check out places like hondamarketplace, hmotorsonline, jdmshit ect... for prices on what your looking to get, and then compare them to the ebay auction....that way you can see if its an oem product or aftermarket, and compare the condition and price. Basically, just shop around....if the item on ebay is a good deal and you want it, get it

funny.
They have the same design as the A-Sport ones I put in 5+ years ago!

I don't think I would ever buy a set again - hardly noticable and the money could have been spent a lot better.
