Checkerd Sports

If the name Checkerd Sports doesn’t pop up in your mental Rolodex of aftermarket parts suppliers, don’t worry, it’s fairly new. Checkerd Sports was started by Raul Ramirez and consists of U.S.-made accessories for both the Civic and Integra chassis. The lineup includes signature oil caps, steering bosses, fuel rails, and ECU mounting brackets. The company also manufactures its own shift knobs, wheel spacers, and even a slick spacer for enthusiasts who opt to run an S2000 clutch master cylinder in their Civics/Integra. Checkerd Sports is mainly known for its personal line of products, but it is also a supplier of R Crew, Buddy Club, and Status Racing. Need an engine like Zee Chen’s K20A? It can get those, too. “Check” it out at www.checkerdsports.com.
