| CFI Dash Kit - Drive Buys
CFI Motorsports
Make your Supra even more super with this aluminum dash kit from CFI Motorsports. The kit's sleek design gives the illusion of a one-piece unit and creates a smooth, high-tech-cockpit feel. Applications for the Accord, Prelude, Eclipse, Miata, and RX-7 are available, as are units for Acuras and Nissans-because Supras can't have all the fun.

FilterMag
Increase the life of your engine by more than 70 percent with the new FilterMag patented magnetic filtration system. FilterMag attaches to the outside of disposable oil filter canisters and gets rid of all sizes of steel particles. It even removes particles that are only 2 microns, and that's pretty darn small (less than 0.001 inch). The particles are pulled against the interior wall of the oil filter and out of the way of flowing engine oil due to the intense magnetic force field. Without the FilterMag system, steel particles that typical oil filters miss will continue to circulate in the engine oil and have a corrosive effect.

Arospeed
Remember when being grounded was a bad thing? Well, not anymore. With Arospeed's ground wire kit you can get your whole ride grounded to a central major grounding point that branches off to the major components of the engine. The wires can be used on the block, transmission, alternator, ignition-system, or any other essential grounds found in the engine bay. Having a constant ground will help eliminate power loss, thus improving overall performance of electrical components.

Verticool Custom Grille
The Verticool custom grille from Fitz will have onlookers drooling with envy. It's the perfect finishing touch for your '02 Acura RSX show car because it gives the car's modern design a retro look that was styled after early-'50s hot rods. It's like combining The Fast and the Furious and Happy Days to make a truly unique but kind of demented-if you think about it-show. Can you imagine the Fonz versus Vin Diesel? Hmm... Makes you wonder who would win that rumble. The Verticool grille is available in a polished or chrome finish.

Cat Cams
Catch them while you cam! Don't let the bad joke fool you. These camshafts are quality steel billet products made for Saturn DOHC engines. They are available in several designs, including one for use with the stock valvetrain, plus race and forced-induction versions. You can even hook up your Honda or Eclipse with some new Cat Cams, if you so desire.

Sprint Performance Suspension
Keep it on the D-L (down low for those of you who aren't familiar with the lingo) with new Sprint performance lowering springs for the '02 Acura RSX. They drop your vehicle 2 inches while providing great handling and a comfortable ride. Coils by Sprint are also available for many other applications. So the next time you leave the crib to go kick it with your dawgs, cruise by the LBC on your way to the CPT, but just make sure your boys don't CB you when it comes to the ladies. Huh?

Wings West
The newly designed Acura RSX will look even tastier with the Wings West G5-series body kit added to it. The kit adds sexy curves in all the right places, especially with the new Extreme front and rear fender flares. A carbon-fiber hood, a hood cowl bonnet, and two styles of wings are also available separately. The MZ series and the Type S rear wings each sport the new Wings West stainless steel signature "W" end caps. Everyone will know you spared no expense on your ride when they see the Wings West logo as you zoom by.

Bosal USA
Bosal's revolutionary Chameleon high-performance muffler system was definitely designed for those of us who are indecisive, unsure creatures who are never able to make up our minds and stick to our decisions. The Chameleon muffler system is available in universal fit in a variety of configurations, including 5- and 6-inch diameters and 10- and 14-inch lengths. You also have your choice of six interchangeable exhaust tips that are easy to swap. Choose between angle cuts, DTMs, duals, flares, and large round and oval pipes in both long and short versions. Of course, they're all made of machined- and mirror-polished stainless steel, so you won't have to fret over the finish.

Bazooka
Make your car vibrate more than your lonely, single 40-year-old aunt's "little friend," and do it inexpensively and without all the embarrassment with Bazooka's new concert-series woofers. The CS woofers offer high-end features, such as PP reinforced paper cones, a large voicecoil, rubber surround, a foam-edge gasket, a custom basket design, and a large magnet with a bumped backplate and rear venting. You get all this for only $69.95 to $79.95, depending on whether you want the 10- or 12-inch size.

The Glosser and The Absorber
We know the names of these products sound like job titles you would find in the credits of a porn flick, but they're actually pretty cool products that will bring your ride to a nice, shiny finish. The Glosser is a three-layer, wax-filled microfiber that carries cleaners and waxes in the middle layer. It removes surface soil, applies wax, enhances shine, and towels it dry all with one disposable tissue. The wipes can also be used for the interior on instrument panels, vinyl, leather, doorjambs, and engine compartments. Before you buff and wax your ride, you should probably wash it and use the Absorber to dry it quickly. That way you'll get rid of all the wetness and those pesky beads of water that ruin your finish if left to air dry.

R-Spec Japan
This digital speedmeter by R-Spec Japan is now available in the United States, thanks to IPN Motorsports. You should promise your first-born child to IPN because the unit's equipped with peak/hold, G/Power, average speed, average rev, and many other functions. Available in your choice of a metallic silver or skeleton-blue case; both include an electro-luminescent blue backlight that will light up your life as well as your data.

MagnaFlow
The Ford Focus will be one to reckon with when MagnaFlow's latest after-cat performance exhaust system is installed on it. The system is made of high-quality, mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing that comes with the mirror-finish performance muffler. You receive "straight through," wide-open performance because the mufflers have no chambers or restrictions. You'll also get a deep, smooth tone that will let others know you're there to take care of business.
