consumer warning
This post is for people that drive hondas(all models)
"DO NOT PURCHASE SPARK PLUG CABLES/WIRES FROM ADVANCE AUTO"
the wire set they offer for honda cars are complete crap,the wire(terminals) comes apart from the boot insulator if you try to remove the wire from the spark plug chamber.In other words the boot gets stuck to the spark plug there for you will have to use a pair of plyers in order to remove the boot from the spark plug and spark plug chamber.
so remember do not buy the brand they offer(xact),just go to honda and get ngk wires.
later.

Re: consumer warning
actually if you are in need of wires and you only have the, as you say $12 dollars to spend, then buy them but make sure you put the 99 cent pack of boot protector on the inside of the boot and it will come off everytime.

Re: consumer warning
xacts actually cost $29.99 for the hondas,and the electrolite will not work if you leave the wire on for more than a month.trust me I'm talking with "hands on expirience"
besides advance is only good for purchasing a battery, wiper blades and wash&wax products.They suck at everything else

you are retarded for buying a set of "lifetime" wires anyway.
you dont have to buy OEM, but cheap aftermarket=shit.
Belden blues or Borg Warner is the only ignition components i install.

Re: consumer warning
