Low Budget = Crappy Models?

Basically, What I want to know is if I try to make all the stuff myself It probly wont turn out as good as if I bought it from sumone else, Does anybody know a place that has cheap parts? or should i try to make the parts myself? Are there any Tutorials on Sound Systems?

How the hell does the title of this thread relate to the actual topic subject?

... My point is basically, I dont want to buy from tuning18.com , is their any other places ith cheaper parts? or will I end up having to make all my parts, there for, most likely makeing it look likee crap because I decide to go with LOW BUDGET Parts...

A majority of the modeling population builds the stuff themselves.

But sometimes, you get what you pay for.

I usually make all my own stuff, parting it out from other cars.
