Best place to get the best parts?
I have searched high & low all over the internet, but even though I find TONS of stuff that looks good or sounds good (in the description) or is priced well, I have no clue what to get to get the best out of my Teg. I've listed stuff that will be replaced, but I need opinions and maybe some evidence of where & what to get....
First off, I need to replace EVERYTHING on the front. I want OEM-spec fenders, not the cheaply made s*** that dents easy, because that is what is on it right now & it looks horrible. I also need the fender liners.
I want an OEM-spec hood....
I want black aftermarket wheels, but I have no clue what size to get (thinking 16") because I don't want to ever rub the fenders in hard turn or in really bumpy conditions.
Body clips? By that I mean those little black or white clips that hold plastic body parts on...
What about the plastic steering wheel horn buttons? Both of mine broke off so I just have the switches covered with blue electrical tape.... I know, I know, WTF, right? lol
A new driver's seat. I got rear-ended & it broke my drivers seat, so I replaced it with a junkyard civic seat, that works, but barely. I have thought about getting aftermarket buckets, but I want to still be comfortable on long trips, feel secure in my seat, and still be able to fully recline if I want to. Also, I drive sitting straight up, NOT reclined AT ALL.
Suspension.... I have Bilstein shocks/struts all the way around, but I absolutely HATE how my car rides... I feel everything. There is never a smooth ride in my car. Not to mention, when I replace my suspension, I want to replace EVERYTHING to do with the suspension, but I have no clue what to look for or where to look for it.
I also need to replace my passenger door, thanks to the previous owner, & age. I need the door hinge, the door and the outer door handle. I can transfer everything else from my car to the new door.
So, where to get the best quality :
-- Front Fenders & Fender Liners
-- OEM hood
-- Best projector/ HID headlights to get?
-- Wheels
-- Plastic Body Clips
-- Horn buttons
-- Drivers Seat
-- Suspension

Google "oem acura parts delray" for your oem parts you can't find via forums/ craigslist/ junkyards. For aftermarket I usually use the clubintegra store (tunersports.com) , jhpusa.

If it's. Small enough to fit in pocket than your just paying entrance. I don't do that but most people do.

The junkyards near me never have Tegs, at least 3rd gen, & when they do get them, it's usually stripped clean within a couple days. Besides... I would rather buy new. I appreciate the insight thus far, but how about stuff like wheels and suspension? I have no clue what to get, even though I see tons of stuff out there that I like, but I don't know what to get that will result in the best street & drag performance, but mostly VERY hard street driving. I'm talkin I do things like taking turns fast enough to make my tires scream.... Some because it really really turns my girlfriend on, but mostly because I just enjoy driving really hard.
With wheels, I want something that will have the same or similar rotating mass as OEM, but with no tire rub & no really low profile crap. I'm running 195/65R14, and if I switch to 15", I want it to be like 205-215/45-55R15. If it is a 16", I want it to be a 205-215/45-16. Basically, if I were to take my OEM wheels & put them next to the 15" or 16" wheel of my choice with the correct tire on it, I want them to appear to be the same height, but with plenty of rubber on the road and in between the road and the rim.
With suspension, I want it to be a very firm, very grippy feel, but a smooth comfortable, quiet & controlled ride. With the Bilstein I have now, I have rear wheel hop, bottoming out, maxing out, and LOTS of body roll in turns. I want all that to go away. If anyone knows what the ride of a 2008 Lexus IS-250 feels like.... That's what I want....

So, I have searched all day through the forums for anything that I am looking for with this thread, and not finding what I am looking for except suspension. Question I still have:
1. What is a good wheel size for the 3rd Gen Teg, especially with the average 1.5" drop of an aftermarket suspension setup? Note: I don't want ANY tire rub, & I am ALWAYS making steering-lock turns. (lots of tight spaces...lol) I do however want better turning grip than the 14" 195 OEM's give, granted I don't have anything more than Walmart tires on the car right now... They squeal like a stuck pig in turns!
2. I checked out the acuraoemparts.com & that other OEM Acura site, (.org) and they don't have a way that you can buy the entire seat assembly as one. You have to choose every damn part individually. Any ideas on where I can find an entire seat as a whole, other than junkyards & Ebay?

1. Size of the wheel is irrelevant, the question is what size tire fits best with the wheels you get/have. Get better tires for good grip.
2. craigslist
