Scrap everything except for the sub (and spend the money and do it right. Good amps cost about $1 per watt of power BTW) and the headlights (Sylvania Silverstars). The rest is trash.

Save up your money and buy some Tein BASIC or SS coilovers, and then get good tires. Your car will thank you.

OEM means Original Equipment from Manufacturer... aka what came on the car from the factory...


The best damn taillights, IMO, for the DC2 is from the Euro spec ITR.... but those are incredibly rare and difficult to get here in the states...

Bah... OEM means OEM... and it looks like some POS Taiwan import brand is trying to capitalize on ricer's easily confused pocketbooks. If every you see someone referring to "OE" or "OEM" on this board, they mean Honda-built and meant to be installed components...

hmm 300 isnt much... ditch the altezas.. try the 9005 conversion with the silverstars.. maybe some preformance mod like an intake.. you'd love it.. even if you dont care for preformance.. then youd love the sound h:
