For good deals on all kinds of car junk, check out MMR -- I've bought some stuff there in the past... Call them up, order on the phone, and haggle with them -- they're pretty much the biggest place in San Diego. Also, they seem pretty knowledgable -- I've called just for car advice. Ask for Rino/Reno (sp?) -- but other people might be good too. Whatever...

ford >= chevy >=dodge > asian crap

lol thats funny. do you know anything about cars at all? there's a reason why the accord and camry are consistently best sellers and the ford taurus ranks at the bottom. explain to me why all american values depreciate so quickly and japanese cars have high resale value.


Does anyone know where I can get some good deals on Wheel/Tires combo for my 99' Accord

check out tirerack.com, and groupbuycenter.com

that remark dissing hondas (and then followed by a retarded brag about his own car) was pretty dumb...yes I know this is a useless post, but I just HAD to say it...people are always arguing about stupid things like "DVD+RW is better than DVD-RW" and "XBox is better than PS2" ... just stfu and go brag if you want in OT or something.

Just make sure you don't buy a fiberglass kit. My first kit for my integra was fiberglass and that was a nightmare and a half. I ended up buying a new urethane kit and I am WAY happier now. Save yourself the headaches (and the money).

urethane kits are uber-better than fiberglass!

as for all you playing the "my car is better than your car game" I gave up on that a long time ago. Now it is about "my girlfriend is hotter than your girlfriend!"

yup, i bet ford sells 2/3 of taurus to those rental car company and say "we sold this many"
my family have both accord(2k) and camry(2k2), one of the main reason to buy these cars were of course safety but also the resale value
IMO camry is little bigger and better than accord

didnt read all the posts but just in case someone didnt mention it,

there are 2 kinds of fiberglass... sprayed (cheapy-deapy) and hand laid (thick and strong)

i made the mistake of "wow thats cheap, ill buy it right now) sad to say it was sprayed and it cracked after i "touched" another car

also, sprayed does not hold paint very well so whoever has to paint it will havea hard time.

i would stay away from all fiberglass kits. even if the manufacturer claims they are "high quality" and "strong". fiberglass will crack, and your paint will chip off very easily. most of the cost of a body kit is the paint. buying a "less expensive" fiberglass kit then dropping a lot of money on it to paint it is a waste because it will be nice for a max of 6 months. spend a little more and get a urethane kit, then when you paint it, it will last. i spent a grip painting my fiberglass kit only to have to trash it. i then had to buy and then paint a urethane one... ugh. should have done it right the first time.

well, all fiberglass is not bad. fyi, corvettes are full/almost full fiberglass. that is.. "hand-laid" filberglass. depending on the manufacturer, it can be high quality. i dont think this place is one of them though.


the bad part aobut urethane is that they dont come in mant designs for all cars. i am sure because of the high cost of manufacturing. urethane is the way to go if they make it in the design and style you like!

Riceburners != good.

The logic is correct.




This is exactly why American Car Manufacturers are in financial trouble right?....They love their Firestones!.....It should be more like:




ford >= chevy >=dodge = pop a tire, roll over a couple of times, and pray to survive

One ill designed SUV(Explorer) does not reflect on the entire lineup of 3 manufacturers. Do you have any facts behind the "financial trouble" statements?

dude.. stop crapping man.. If you don't like this deal, you really don't need to mention it. This deal is for all those that are interested in buying a bodykit. Dang.. this forum was not design to ask to crap on other people's hot deal. I thought this was a hot deal and I wanted to share it with people who might be interested.

You mean how Ford and GM are buying up Nip car companies (like Mazda) because they're doing so well and don't need to be bailed out by US makers?

here's a word of advice for those buying body kits, watch out for fitment problems when the price is too good to be true. usually the cheaper ones have bigger gaps (ie. their manufacturing tolerances arent good enough) between the kit and the body. personally, i'm not a kit fan -- i like sleepers

lets not get into this my car is better than yours crap. everyone likes diff things about diff cars. a fast car means nothing in bad traffic!
