Some products look fishy.

Those are all "e-bay brand" stuff.

1. (Header) You get what you pay for, spend money on something you know that will fit perfectly. Buying knock-off or no-name brand usually has fitment issues... especially with headers, you definitely do not want leaks in that area.

2. (Seats) These nismo knock-offs are not certified seats. Get in a wreck and expect them to collapse on you or break your spine in half. (I think ebay also sells these for $200... would u risk your life on cheap seats?)

3. (Headlights) So far I dont see any issues with those, but I don't believe they are OEM. Then again, you dont really need an OEM headlight, but these lights are not HID's. They actually sell on ebay a lot cheaper ($200's).
