That's why it's sometimes referred to as "FleaBay"

Kidding aside, there are some good stuff thru ebay, just have to know what you are looking for and be aware of the junk!

hehe...nah, ebay has some great deals/things but it also has some less than desirable products as well. Kind of like the fleamarket

What was the problem? You scan for codes? Did you cut MAF wires? Maybe there's a simple DIY...

As everyone said, really depends what you get and from who. I used to buy audio stuff on ebay and it was great for coming up on old school stuff..actually bought some ricer JDM parts for my previous car (Accord) and fitment was good. $160 got me altezza tail lights (fail), wannabe projector headlights (double fail), and a polished intake (win, because it sounded cool....fitment was perfect on all of them, so that was cool.

I once came up hardcore at a swap meet. Got 11 subwoofers for 300 bucks..wish I had more and wish I cam earlier. Subs were well known brands as well..sold em dirt cheap for about 80 each...some at 150 . Boy I love sick deals...time to go hunting on ebay and snip some auctions.

Just checked out the auction..holy moly. Gonna have to wait a couple weeks for it to arrive..coming from Taiwan, lol

I bought my spoiler on ebay and the paint match was perfect. After 3yrs, the clearcoat failed and bubbled up really bad all over.

is for looks, same as a Kurookie bumper, none increase downforce on the car, unless you're talking a lightweight twin turbo Porsche or something like that, not a family sedan

what vents? the openings in the bumper? Of course they are functional - or are you talking about something else?
