    I'm gonna give ebay another chance

    So I've decided lately I may be have been a little to harsh on not buying parts off of ebay. I still can't stand listing "ebay" as a manufacturer but as far as using it to purchase items...I shall try anew.

    One Problem...I went and tried to find some red/clears...only goes to 94 honda accords...can't search older than 94...whaaaaaaat am I doing wrong?

    It's always bugged me when people list ebay as the manufacturer. ebay is just a store, they don't make a damn thing. If it's generic, call it generic, call it unknown, call it a bargain, whatever.
    A lot of the generic stuff on ebay has a company name somewhere, it might be jimmyjoeracing.com, so now you have a jimmyjoeracing header, but that's better than calling it ebay brand.
    Badmouthing the cheap shit on ebay gives it a bad name for those who don't know better, then they start asking questions about "Are these NIB Tein springs on ebay any good? I know everyone says not to buy ebay parts."
    They start to associate ebay with crap, and that's not the case.

    Having had my little mini-rant, good for you. Ebay is a great source for parts at a good price, it's just a matter of sorting out the crap from the quality, and if there isn't anything good right now, wait a few days and check again. Patience is your wallet's best friend!

      I agree... I have bought and sold ALOT on ebay, and most of the regular members on the forum know that... It's all about the research and the seller... eBay is just a flea market... Its all about the seller's and their goods.

        Yea, most of the stuff I got from Ebay was really worth it. I just got a header/test-pipe combo, with a cat-back, and without a cat or anything to filter out the noise, it sounds REALLY good. It has a real low tone, and isn't obnoxious, WITHOUT the silencer, which I had a feeling I'd have to get some sort of resonator on it. With the silencer, it sounds stock. Most say Ebay exhausts sound like shit, but mine sounds better than my last one I got done at a shop.

        I got my tails from a kid that got them off Ebay, and they aren't bad at all. Not sure if this would help, might be what you're looking for? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-91...Q5fAccessories

        When I search on Ebay for parts for the car, even though it's a 91, I type like "90 accord ____", just because most things are posted as "accord gauge cluster 90-93".

        It's all about the research and the seller... eBay is just a flea market... Its all about the seller's and their goods.
        Very true.

                      and i have to say i love ebay i have been able to find all kinds of stuff for way cheapier then anything else i can find. just look a respone scores and all the info on the store. that will be the best way to see what is fake. also look at the description they put down for it most fake stuff. says its a look a like or "style"

                        eBay's year search (generally) goes back to the 30's or some such. If you've already put in your search terms (red/clear) and selected make & model, and then try to select the year, & the year you want isn't listed, then their aren't any auctions that match you search terms for that year/make/model combo.
                        Right now there's only one set of red/clears listed for a CB, and its in someone's ebay store, and its for 90/91.

                            curious. i have a 93 2dr and it since its the coupe i guess they are supposed to have the tail lights like the 90-91. if i bought the red/clear tail lights for a 90-91 would they work right? cause i am noticing on that tasauto site that the keyhole for the trunk is in a different spot.

                              Yeah, make sure you check off "Store Inventory" under search options. Though I'm pretty sure he's not looking for that red eye clear euro style that's listed second.
