The quality of them was nowhere near as good as the Gruppe M they copied though. I couldn't fault their service when I ordered a Skunk2 cold air intake for my FD2 tbh. Even got a sizeable discount with a forum code. Things like resevoir covers will be fine.

Not surprising given it was half the price though tbh. I've never had drama with them but they carry the tag Tegiwank amongst the Civic brigade on account of quality issues and missing parts when ordering.

Try 'em find out for yourself.

Yeah. I had a Gruppe M for a while which I thought was a poor fit anyway so I changed it for an Injen long ram which was better in every way. Like you say though it is hit and miss with orders from what i've seen. I know a friend of mine was missing spark plugs from a service kit he ordered and it took about 3 weeks for them to follow up.

They are well respected in the Honda community so i'd have no issues ordering from them, seem like a nice bunch of guys who run it all very much into their modded cars
