yes they are very legit... i bought my hids and light housing from them for $82 and since i went there to pick it up, i didnt have to pay tax...

the manager, jack, is like one of the head honchos of 626 drift... when you go there, its in city of industry so its pretty industrial, there is a s curve and you can see drift marks on the s curve...

they know their cars and they will help you out... dont forget to buy housings too

yeah, the s13 headlights are solid there is no way to change the bulb... so when you put hids there is no way to put them in so you need to buy aftermarket ones that allow you to install the hids in the back and screw them in...

but that on the flip ups, and you got silvia front end so you dont have to worry about it... buy sonics 6k hids, thats what i have and they are perfect

I'd like to know how those reclinable seats are as well. From the measurements, those seats seems a bit too narrow for me and I'm not a big guy, 5'11" 185 lbs with a 32" waist. I'd hate to see my wife try to get in the seats. She's tiny but you know how girls have bigger hips and all. Those seats looks good but no point in getting them if I can't fit in them.

What youve got to understand is all this stuff will work, they didnt make it however it will definitely work. Myself for instance bought a $30 shipped short shifter and its worked for 7 years. Just make sure you install it correctly, tighten all the bolts etc.

Its not top name brand quality obviously but for the prices your spending you cant expect the best quality just expect it to be decent.

I say go with it, Sonic motor guys are all awesome people, they have a store front with a good amount in stock. They will tell you what to buy and what not to buy they are definitely good guys. Go for it!

Post reviews and customer service experiences if you have the time im sure they as well as others would appreciate it.

Hey hey now. We are no gray market! All of our stuff is legit.

For those of you who want big name brand parts, we can get them as well! We don't just sell affordable generic parts, it's just what we are most known for.

Yeah they can get brand name parts too!

Anyone looking at their HID kits i have bought about 8 sets or more from them and they have all worked wonderfully. Dont even think about it just do it!

They are definitely reliable people.

you can definately fit in them, a buddy of mine bought the bride replica seats and hes about your size... just dont make your weight 220 and waist 36" over the holidays and youll be good...

the only downside is they sit kinda high if you set it up how they want you to on the s13 sliders, just dont use the provided washers and youll be sittin perfect

Originally I wanted the GS, but after I sat in it, it was a little to snug for me. (i'm just a litttttle more heavier/taller than you. Out of all the reclinable ones they had I found the CG the most comfy, and just the right size around the shoulder area. I DD my car, so I was looking for a more comfortable seat then an aggressive one.

I like the looks of the GS, but the CG definitely looks like the more comfortable ones. I'm not a huge guy, but I do a lot of leg workouts so my thighs are bigger than your average 5'11" 185 lbs guy. I'm still worry about those seats fitting a girl's big ol' butt too, even though my wife don't ride in my car too often.
