You should ask in the FI forum.

Not sure what kit it is, but they don't list the ECU (Haltech, Hondata, AEM) and instead list an Apexi...what is this, 2002? None of these kits are common components, and it sounds like it was all done cheap. That's a huge red flag.

That and the hood, which is going to put water all over the electronics, not to mention being heavier than OEM.

I wouldn't buy it just cause the place selling it has Xtreme in the name and they used all caps.

Personally I think I could build a better car for $7000 less roughly...
