    Well let the feedback begin. I have personally had one of those eBay coilover kits and while at the time they seemed badass, they are utter crap. I didnt realize it at the time b/c where I used to live the roads were in really good shape. They wont help your handling at all and will purely just be aesthetic. If all you want to do is an inch or so, then just purchase an eibach kit.
    Those headlight bulbs should do the trick for a while, but i'd recommend going with a brand called GP Thunder. They are on ebay, just do a search. i've used those bulbs before and they are good quality. The intake should get the job done too, just make sure its a good quality filter and holding bracket. Other members will chime in.

    thanks. Ive kinda heard the samethign about the eBay coil overs but some people had different opinions. can u find me a link to order the eibach kit for under $100 bucks.and the headlights were cheap and i have faded my headlights with a light shade of night shade they look good doesnt rly change my sight in the dark but i wanted something that is closest to HIDS for like half the price. and couple of my buddys have that CAI on there civics and jettas and i was wondering if it would help on the 2.4.

    You heard WRONG

    Those aren't headlights that is a fake auction since they are never going to look like the pics they show, you could have bought a real DDM HID for $30...

    Many here use that but buy a quality filter like a K&N

    You get what you pay for so don't buy cheap parts its more expensive at the end just save for quality ones

    Oh and you can't get eibach for under $100 they cost like $200-250 the only springs you can get for 100 I think are the megans on ebay

    thanks. and would the aem match up with the l3 bracket. because my buddy has one that doesnt fit his srt4 so he wants like 25 bucks for it.
    and yeah when it comesdown to the essentials im being smart but like little things imma try to keep it cheap because i need to get some rust and a new paint job ovr the winter.

    measure the diameter of the bracket it should be 2.5" or 3" you would need a filter of that same diameter

    I have a ram air intake just like that... And it works great. But buy one that is just $40 with free shipping that way the seller cannot screw you out of your money.

    Go HID. Trust me... I used several different bulb tempuratures and nothing, i mean NOTHING can touch HIDs.

    Use a dremel and then sand, but I don't think you are going yo be able to save the outline chrome, so once its all sanded to perfection you would need to colormatch it with the car

    http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Ap...Raptor-HID-Kit here you go $25+S&h and good quality, buy 4500k or 5000k for best visibility H4 obviously

    and for the grill use a dremel and cut them then sand it down until smooth and even surface then paint it whatever color you want

    cheap is not always good... you will spend a little bit, but it's worth it down the road. the hyper white bulbs i had fried my connectors to a crisp.

    here's an example:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BI-XE...item1c165f12d1

    you need dual filament (hi/low) bulbs, and this seller has some good stuff. i'd recommend them.

    Dont buy cheap ass parts, especialy if they have a bad reputation already. Spend a little extra money and buy something of quality. It is definitely worth it, and in the long run your saving yourself, shitty parts fail and will leave your car a fail as well.

    Order your HID kits from www.ddmtuning.com <-- very cheap, but i will vouch for them, ive ordered well over 20 kits from them and they were all of good quality. A few had defective ballast but they replaced them without a problem.

    K&N air filters.

    They seem cool at first. Heck they even give you a free sticker in the box. I put mine on the back window to let everyone know how badass I am.

    But I don't feel like cleaning and "recharging" it all the time. Besides that, the oil gets inside your intake and all over the MAP/MAS sensor wire thingy. Alot of manufacturers will instantly void your new car warranty if they find a K&N filter installed.

    I just use the regular paper ones. Just my two cents. I will say though that the K&N filters are slimmer and much easier to wrestle into the air cleaner box. LOL
