I just went today. What kind of civic do u have? There is 1 eg sedan, but some parts or most parts are already off. There are a lot of EF. No Ek and only 1 EG. Altima, i didn't see any.

the UPIC yard is full of rusty EF's..short of that if you don't own a domestic it's not worth the $45. The good thing is that if you don't buy anything, they give you a credit.

haha I dunno, I am sure people would complain. It actually worth going there on a regular day and hording all the good **** by hiding it somewhere until free parts day

It really is all about going prior to the event. Get what you need, hide it, bury it, whatever you want. Show up on the said date, and voila, you have what you need for $45, one stop shop.

It's not really worth it. Only once have I seen an E36, and it was picked clean.

Even the domestics are **** usually. The $45 credit things sucks cause its like throwing out your $. If you don't find anything over time, your stuck.

If anyone finds a clean Supra front bumper though, grab it for me and I'll pay ya. 3 piece spoiler and 89+ tails too

damn, I hate free parts weekend, there is always a huge line up, and I rarely need any more than 45$ worth of stuff, so I would get a credit....which I would probably loose, sucks, because I needed to go and pick up something (that would cost less than 45)...

Funny thing is, they say it's only what you can carry by hand but on more than one occasion I have seen people with hockey bags/grocery bags/gym bags/backpacks loaded up with parts and nobody said anything to them ... makes you wonder.
