eBay. safe?

['93EX]

Simple question. Is it wise to purchase any aftermarket CB7 part from eBay? I'm looking at 1pc black projectors + jdm black bumper lenses + short ram intake + strut tower bar + M3 mirrors and I don't know if I am going to be getting garbage for the kind of prices listed on there. Overall, is it wise to purchase these types of products off of eBay? I'm really cautious about where I shop.

I never have problems with ebay

Well, I have heard good and bad things. I'm looking at a generic short ram intake (will add custom filter) and generic strut tower bar at the moment. Don't know if I will be getting crap for the insanely cheap prices of those items on there.

[champagneaccord]

they get their cash from the shipping rofl, it's like 20 bucks to ship a lightbulb probably.

make sure you are buying from reputable selles .. i got screwed a few times on ebay ... and it aint just ebay thats scams people .. evan big companies like WHEELGUYS for an example ,... its been 3 months since ive ordered some wheels .. never received them .. never received my cash ... so you just aft to watch from who ur buying from

I am more or less worried about the quality of the products than the sellers. For example, the cheap short ram intakes they have on there. Will those sound like an expensive intake (AEM for example) or will it be a waste of my time.

Inakes corners and lights you usually dont have a problem with, but with the intakes I suggest you put a k&n filter on em and throw away the crap ebay filter they send you. The headlights are kinda iffy. My brother got a set of halo projectors for his civic a year ago and they look great and work great haven't had anyproblems. Though i have heard that alot of the ebay headlights dont have a high enough light out put because of how they are made. as for the strut bar I would stay away from ebay brands you will get a more quality part if you pay a bit more. ALWAYS ALWAYS READ THE SELLERS FEED BACK AND LOOK AT THEIR SELLER RATING. A rule of thumb i always follow if the person has less than 98% feed back I am less inclined to buy from them and make sure you get a paypal account you are very much protected via paypal. Good luck on what ever you decide!

with generic stuff like the sr intake or the strut bars you shouldnt have a problem..the intake is just a tube so there shouldnt be a real problem..the strut bars you just need to look at them closely to make sure they are the ones for our cars..there have been a few people that have recieved ones for other hondas n such because thats what was displayed in the pic of the auction...so just look carefully and you shouldnt have a problem..and only buy from ppl with great feedback..that will tell you the quality of their products

[papychulo82]

hahaha...DA92DB7 beat me to it...

['93EX]

Well, I was looking at the intakes just for the tubing. I didn't know if the actual AEM intakes had anything special with the tubing (AEM filter is just a regular filter lol) versus the eBay intake. Regarding strut tower bars, those generic bars on eBay don't completely support the towers. They only wrap around 50% of the tower. Decisions!

just don't expect anything to be a real product and just a knock off and ebay is fine.

You can get some good deals but I'd suggest checking around first.

lol DSM manifolds go for 50$+ here and they go for about 25 on the bay.

For 93 Accord EX/SE/10th edition
you will need to find the intake for ABS..
If not intake will rub with ABS modulator.

Thanks for that tip. I actually thought that I had the non-ABS version but I indeed have ABS on my CB7. Thank goodness I didn't order the intake yet lol.

then don't get the 1pc black projectors or jdm black bumper lenses.
the light output really sucks on the projectors and they are poor craftsmanship. your stock headlight will out perform them. the black bumperlights are not really ''JDM'', but they're probably ok.

Will those sound like an expensive intake (AEM for example) or will it be a waste of my time.

it's not the intake that makes the noise, it's the engine. the factory air intake has a silencer in the bumper so you don't hear the engine noise. when you install an intake, the silencer is not part of it.

didn't know if the actual AEM intakes had anything special with the tubing (AEM filter is just a regular filter

AEM claims to have ''tuned'' intake tubes, which seems to be just a coating to help smooth air flow. IMO, it would only make the smallest difference if any. later.
