One style I've seen on Hondas is gloss black with red metallic flake, gives it a lot of depth without it going gray under flat light.
Metallics also help hide imperfections, which is a good thing on d...

There's also the issue of directionality -- the turn signals must be visible from the front and sides.

The resonator is key to a smooth tone. Mufflers are good for volume, but resonators are good for avoiding the nasty buzz typical of uneducated car owners (aka pretty much every Civic with a three-inch...

NO -- DO NOT use FIPG or any other valve-cover goop on the spark plug tube threads.
The proper sealant is high-temp thread locker (blue) or teflon tape. This is on the threads, not the valve cover or ...

Cheap. Toyota. Pick one.
That said, try an online dealer such as 1sttoyotaparts.com, they operate out of a dealership so the parts are OEM but the prices involve less overhead.

Meguiar's Deep Crystal system.
Not a bad setup, but for long-term protection I'd suggest the NXT wax, which is actually a polymer.

Black is carbon -- check your spark plugs, but my bet is that you've got oil leaking onto your valves. It builds up with the valves closed, then drops all at once into your engine when you start. Were...
