Default Where to buy stuff

Couldnt find anything when I searched this. but Im new to the whole "fixing up your car" world and I see people having like a new set of wheels every like two weeks or a new lip or something like that. and im just wondering where does everyone buy and sell stuff? on Ebay? Craigslist? or some other site I dont know? Ebay tends to not to be trustful in selling legit parts and I dont know any trustful sites to buy stuff. There not many people around where I live that are truly into fixing up their car. so where do you buy your stuff? and where would you recommend I buy stuff?
~Sorry wasnt sure were this thread should go so I posted it under Honda/Acura, move it if you need to.~

not the correct forum indeed but a location might help, if we knew where you were we could tell you where to visit locally to buy parts

A lot of people trade parts around the grapevine. The real question is where do they get all of the money for it!

Go straight up Pellissippi Pkwy, go right through Solway and take the first exit on the right going up Edgemoor road. Take Edgemoor all the way up to Clinton Hwy and they are right there on the right. There used to be another shop IN Solway but they moved somewhere.

Otherwise it's all online.

No. They never got around to actually hooking up the store part. They are extremely busy.

theres a kid that lives near me that doesn't keep a set of wheels for more then 3-4 weeks. I assume he trades them, because his garage doesn't have stacks of tires in it....

I guess its a status thing.... I have no idea.

If you can't find it in the Marketplace, then look elsewhere. Our site sponsors give HT members awesome deals that are competitive across the industry. Support those who support this site

I would rather buy from the Marketplace or an established H-T member first before giving it up to an e-tailer.
