On air intakes for my car I could've spent £400 for an afe intake. I ended up buying a k&n filter for £120. Never had a problem till I did have a problem. So now Im saving up for the afe filter I could have spent £400 but now ive endup spending £520 total for like a 10hp gain. Live and learn. My wife doesn't know👍🏿

[@Prestiged_peck]

Fuck K&n I ran one for a week then went to check on it and it was like touch it and your sand man covered in dirt after just one week so I was like fuck that and put my stock intake back on till I could get an amsoil dry cone filter ordered, I only clean that filter like every 3 months and it filters better than the k&n, just doesn't attract as much dirt.

[@bbkangs]

[@pasmomoonde6077]

K&N is diped in oil thus the sand its doing a better job only down side is more frequent maintenance needed.

A mod I did on my car are tow rings and tow hooks, but I dont just buy generic ones on wish or amazon, I research around for quality ones that serve a function over aesthetics.

Aging myself here, but there used to be something called the JC Whitney catalog. You could find the parts you needed, but you had to sift through pages of bolt on scoops (before 3M tape was a thing). Pretty much the same thing, but you actually had to want it enough to mail order the parts instead of impulse buying when you are picking up a new set of wipers.

I’m not knocking it for the people that do like it, but if you live in an area where potholes are like those instadeath quicksand pits from Super Mario 64 that kill you when you touch them, there’s no point in lowering your car to where your midpipe is only a hair’s width away from scraping pavement and throwing an excessive amount of camber to where your wheels resemble a crashed car in GTA that’s somehow still drivable.

Eyy eBay stuff CAN be decent. You just need to be incredibly choosy about it. Most of it is trash. Most of what isn't trash needs some love before it can rightfully go on your car. I get asked about my rear "diffuser" relatively often. It's an eBay part, but then I took the time to sand it, paint it properly, etc. Just slapping it on the car as cheap plastic would have looked garish. Same with lighting. I find eBay replacements for things like side markers and fog lights tend to look quite good if you get the right ones. Just ask yourself if the item you're considering would keep things classy, and if not, don't buy.
