pics of my racing seats, not installed yet
Is that why your car is stock? You're saving up for quality parts? I'd rather spend $60 on a APC intake, than $150 on an RS Akimoto intake that has the same filter, same piping and same hoses. But I guess that sticker is worth $90, right? I could go on and on...

I wanted the look without the $1200 pricetag. Some are knock offs are better than others, and just because its name brand doesnt mean its oh so great. My friends black Sparco Milanos are faded on the corners from the sun, and my other friends grey ones still look like new. Oh well, what can you do.

How long do you think that header is going to last before the "bling" starts falling off and fading. How long do you think it's going to last before it warps and cracks? You do get what you pay for. What's better in your opinion...APC coilovers with stock shocks for $80 or a decent set of Ground Control coilovers for $300 with a set for $400 shocks? Which are going to last longer, which ride will be close to perfect, which set will last longer? You get what you pay for...I'm not bashing on you. But you are driving your car and you do want it to perform well and last long, get quality parts. Again it's your car...my car is stock because I want it to be as stock looking as possible. Especially since I'm movig back to NYC, lots of Hondas get stolen there. And pretty much, I'm stock to save for a swap and good suspension system. Your car, do what you want with it. But it's always better to shell out a little extra cash and get quality parts to last long and perform well...my 2 cents. Don't get me wrong, I do know that an APC intake and a AEM intake are pretty much the same damn thing, same pipe and filter. I'm not talking about that. Mainly about the parts you bought. Header and seats. High quality seats support you, they last longer, the padding doesn't squash in after a while, they don't fade, etc...again your car.
The reason I bought a cheap header is that as soon as I sell my CBR I plan to turbo my car. But until then, I just want a little extra "cheap" performance.
I would never ever pay $700 for some springs and shocks. I'd rather pay $1200 and put air cylinders on it, handling be damned. And the $70 ebay coilovers I put on ride alot better than the arospeeds I had on another car. I may buy some sparcos in the future, but these seats would really have to be a dissappointment to me. So we shall see.

i like the color of them with the black and red, but why waste your money if you're just going to buy something to replace it anyway?
