Everything that can normally go wrong on a 100k mile performance car... radiator, timing belt, water pump, shocks, electronics, etc. These parts are going to be more expensive than your Acura and are probably more likely to need replacement anyway.

I personally think they are ugly. I was not impressed with the interior at all.
