Icon3 Online Shopping HELP!

I been looking around for parts for my new Si, and to be honest with everyone i have no clue where to start and where its safe. Anyone know of a good, safe, reliable website where they sale aftermarket parts, and actually send them the right parts?? i know the actual website of the aftermarket part is good, but then again they expect u to pay a lot for a simple exhaust, im kind of looking for a not too cheap not too expensive reliable website.

Do NOT search by price.

Do NOT rush into buying parts.

DO search these forums for what others are using if they thread says eBay ignore.

I RECOMMEND Apexi and nothing else.

yeah i assumed people would say ebay, never really trusted ebay or amazon on these kind of things... apparently the Si right now already has a APEXI N1 on it...it sounds nice but ionno seems like its rusting, either the previous owner bought a cheap one or, just didnt take care of it very well.

The browning of the metal could be from heat cycling...it is a combination of carbon from the exhaust and the heat infusing in the metal...happens to machine gun barrels as well...

i'm from Va and my apexi WSII is like 4 years old and it hasn't rusted one bit, its stainless you could have a knock off made of crap metal.

i wouldn't say no to ebay just no to ebay no name ****, you can find good deals on used parts on ebay at times, hell i have sold a few things on ebay in my day all legit stuff, but mostly i use the local forums and craigslist now.
