I paid 31k for my 2005 6mt brand new off the lot in 2005 with navi, aero, sports full option. some people have paid more. I was just saying 40k because the brand new price was 35-40k. Although the falling economy and resale value made the car worth about half that, it does not mean the car is same as a civic.


It would have been awkward if I said, "Buying a $34,785 dollar car g35 and ruining it to create another car" that is why I rounded it up.


Also have you been to the dealers lately? G35s (or should I say G37s) go for well over 40k now once you start putting on options.

 

Easily.


And what better way to customize your $40K+ automobile than by searching for your next mods on Ebay.

 

Go on the G37 forums. People that spend 40k on a new car do not buy ebay mods.

People that spend 12-15k on a used G35, buy ebay mods.

 

i buy reputable mods on ebay....

a lot of shops sell on ebay

 

Ehh... I dunno about that. I've known some G37 guys to be very cheap and complain about price differences as small as $10-$20. I guess they bought a car too expensive for them

 

Riverside sells on ebay.

 

hahaha.... LMAO +1

 

By mods on Ebay, i was referring to the cheap stuff...ie. cheap clear corners, $20 universal mufflers, $100 sets of no-name drilled rotors, $20 ECM chips...stuff that's bargain priced.

I've bought my new OEM rotors and pads off ebay. Most of the quality stuff you see on there you are going to pay fairly close to retail anyway.

My point was as the price of the vehicle drops, so do the price and quality of mods. With me when it comes to mods, i prefer quality, fitament and reliablity over price. With suspension for example, i'm more concerned about ride quality, fit and finish and durability. So i'd be more willing to pay more for specific springs, struts, camber kit, etc to get the suspension right. (i'm sure other people as well). Some on the other hand might be concerned with just dropping their car as cheaply as possible (there is a thread on this forum now about cheap springs for $100) and might shop for used cheap springs to just get the drop they want. They ignore the rougher ride and the fact that their camber is way off chewing their tires up. How many civics have we seen with cut springs bouncing down the road? How many with cheap head or taillights that don't quite fit right? Body kits made of fiberglass painted with cheap paint with no flex additive to save cost?

 

^ So what if you bought the GTR bumper off eBay and then got it painted a Maaco? Then just cut the oem springs to slam it!

 

^that be tyte yo

 

^I know, it looked hella tyte on my Civic. Bumper wuz for a teg, but I made it work
