Default Aftermarket

So I am new to the whole Honda scene...I previously owned a pretty cool Mustang and although I am sure that I will get a bunch of @$&% for that I might as well say it up front ( Here's my former car if you care to check it out Introduction & Modification List - Black 2003 Mach 1 - DrkHseMach1 ). What I am really writing about though is that I am having a hard time locating some aftermarket parts. You guys know some sites that I can browse for interior parts and wheels and stuff??? I would love to trick out the Honda, its a sweet ride.

I would hit eBay hard to see what you can get for half the cost.

cool, thats what has done the best so far, i guess there arent as many stores around for the aftermarket as there are for mustangs. thats alright i'm sure that I can still find some things to make this Si stand out from the crowd. Thanks for the info.

Yea your better off with a honda then a Junkstang. (sorry i just had to say that, tho I do want in older Mach 1 myself, for personal reasons). I'm not to into the interior and exterior mods a whole lot. I'd rather keep it JDM then Rice it out. Since i saw that you had Steeda on ur stang you should try to get some Spoon products for ur Honda (Spoon is pretty much the same thing for hondas that Steeda is for Stangs)

That sounds like the way to go i guess. Where is a good place to learn about all the Honda stuff like that? I really need to find some resources to read up on Honda's and all the aftermarket parts that are and are not worth the money. Any ideas???

i don't really now of any sites or anything. I would say just go google honda info or something. Or maybe just go to a few honda sites and read up a bit.
Here's a few club sites (Idk if you have a civic or accord or what, but these are civic sites)
ClubCivic.com - Your Honda Civic Community - All Generation Honda Civic Forum

There are plenty of stores for compact parts, you just have to know where to look. Google "Civic Si aftermarket" to start with. Summit racing actually has a pretty decent selection of parts, so you can use the account you probably made buying stuff for your Mustang. Tire Rack is the best place to go for wheels and tires, bar none. They also sell coilovers, brakes, and a few other upgrades.

I actually just bought an 08 civic si 2dr with navi. I love the car and am really happy with it.

Thanks to everyone else for the ideas, I am definitely picking up some good spots to go hunting.

Good luck on the car. There isn't a lot out there for your car yet, so be patient when you are searching. Lots of basic stuff, but not a lot of the high tech bits. But hey when new stuff comes out you can be one of the first to test it!
