As per title,
was wondering where people mainly get thier car parts from. From bodykits to car wash care, to engine components.
I usually buy secondhand from FB groups and nz euro/jdm enthusiast forums.
Where do you cheapies get your car parts from?

jauce.com probably.
I've used Rock Auto in USA for air filters , spark plugs and a couple other small things. They're good, very cheap and fast shipping
Amayama for genuine parts.
Aliexpress/Ebay/Pick-A-Part
TradeMe or Aussie. Exact same bits usually way cheaper from Aus even after shipping, theres just usually a 2-3 week wait to get them.
Amayama is great, they still have brand new original parts for my 27-year-old vehicle, and the shipping is pretty reasonable. They can take quite a while to ship though. Rock Auto is also good if they have what you want, but they aren't great for Japanese vehicles unless they were available in the US.
@P0KEMON Do you replace things like spark plugs yourself? I've found most mechanics don't like it when your try to supply your own parts.
eBay Japan for parts apparently is good. From memory there was some kind of portal where they buy on your behalf or you buy them and then they act as a middle man to ship the item or something. My brother used them in the past I think. Sorry don't have the details but you could probably Google some car forum posts if you wanted to investigate that as an option.
