get some QUALITY HID's!! The Retrofit Source Inc


better yet... retrofit your headlights before getting HID's... Better quality light plus you won't be blasting everyone with lights that are in a reflector housing..

I got nothing..


I just have the mindset of you get what you pay for.. DDM:40 bucks. TRS 120 bucks.

DDM will easily die 3 times while the TRS kit will last a while.. plus has a long 5 year warranty and their Customer Service is top-notch!

DDM CS is a piece of shit even though they're down the street from us..DDM Tuning - 15 Photos - Auto Parts & Supplies - Huntington Beach, CA - Reviews - Yelp

look at their crappy yelp reviews. some from legit reviewers, and some probably got paid to post nice ones..

Ah yes, the Ford Explorer Sport and Ford Edge Sport, the staple (circa 2011) of aging douchebags and moms respectively who like to get in your trunk and drive faster than the speed limit because they spent $40-45K, therefore they're in the upper class.

Seriously, stop imitating Land Rover cunts. Nobody likes them.

Frantz...I'd ship you a front cat...but it's base...so 900 cell count and not the 600 your type s came with.

That offer only goes out to that ninja who gives us solid advice day in and day out.

I didn't realize you have KBP 6MT because you're not a whore like SOME people (oh wait...) KBP or CBP in 6MT is the only other TL that makes me hard. Other than my own.

Kevin, you need to take the advice I give myself...love what you got...part of the fun is the journey and part of the journey is busted knuckles and greasy fingers.

I like you Flip though. I don't think you're an aging douchebag or a mom so you don't fit the criteria.

Dude...I own like 8 shift knobs...

I'm sure Joe will be shocked but I love knobs. Have a real affinity for how they feel in my hand. If I didn't have to take my eyes off the road, I'd actually take them in my mouth to see how that feels. But safety.

Anyway...yeah...$130...the S2000 came with one, and I just put it back on and MAN it's awesome...heavy, doesn't get hot and oem quality. I like that the it's small enough at the base to fit in the shift boot and look nice and solid.

In a day and age where you have to try and find manufacturers still making a manual transmission...I'm proud to say that I own 2 of them.

Appreciate the offer as I know you'd wrap it securely in towels before boxing it up!

Rock Auto just got my funds so I'll have a part + hardware in the next few days (without the J-packed towels).


@ whore. I try to be discreet af up in these streets.

Glad my KBP is on your list though!

Did you drive stick before? If not, first 2 days you'll be like oh man so many things what do I do omg. Then after a week it's second nature, you don't watch the rpms anymore you go by feel/sound.
If you go back to an auto then you feel like your left leg is an extra limb and you don't really know what to do with your right arm anymore.

Johnny...I drove 2.5 hours per day round trip in traffic with a 5MT Accord...over time, you don't even think about it. Manual transmission is a way of life. Live it.

It's also known as the glass 6MT in the real world.

Well I can't consider myself a car aficionado without driving a stick right? It's about time I do it.. I've practiced in my friends cars a few times but can't say I've ever really driven it ..

Johnny...not even kidding or being irresponsible with my advice, you're in the perfect scenario to actually pull the trigger on an S2000. As someone that recently went 3G to his dream car of an S2000, I seriously should put you in touch with Tyler CLtotheTL to text any questions/concerns. He too, sucks at 6MT.
