Ok guys this is the deal I thought it would be smart to go ahead and make a list of what to buy and what not to buy on ebay because we do get quiet a bit of questions in here.
the names by the items if people that okayed them, proved that they were worth the money.
if you see a number by the names then that mean to look at the bottom of the page to see what it is talking about. usually a link of some sorts.

*** IF you can provide specific details on your item ( website, price, quality, anything would be more than appreciated.) ***

Cold air intake.

 

is this to mean it is a good idea to get one or not to get one?

 

this information needs to get out

 

by what i've seen, headlights are pretty safe to get

 

yea I have heard that too. I have only heard good about ebay style head lights will add them to the get catagory.

 

I'd say intakes are safe... they have real cheap AEM intakes. Also, my friend bought rims about half a year ago off ebay. He got them cheaper than the same ones on tire rack.

 

ok so intakes are ok and rims. but only the higher end cheaper intakes are safe but you think the 10 dollar ones are ok? and for rims, are rims, rims?

 

Well, I'm hoping people have a bit of common sense when buying on ebay. If you find a 10 dollar intake with no answer as to who makes it, it's probably a filthy dented mess of a pipe made by some fat guy making a ton of money off ricers because he bought a pipe bender.. As far as rims, you can find used ones and new ones. I'd say the new ones are okay as long as you research them on other sites.

 

^ that's the problem...some people dont have any common sence
