No offense, but how could you buy that much crap and have none of it fit without being retarded? I mean rims???? Bodykits dont always fit right, but rims???? Or clutch even??? How can that stuff get messed up?

I've bought countless things on ebay. As long as your semi-carefull, you'll be able to find some great deals. For a small extra fee you can also buy through escrow, check out your product for a period of time and if its satisfactory the money is put through. Ebay does provide ways of getting your money back for products that are different than described as well.

Also, if you're unsure of buying from a particular seller, look at their rating and read their feedback, it'll give you a good idea of how well they do business.

In other words, WHENEVER YOU BUY SOMETHING ON EBAY MAKE SURE YOU CAN SEND IT BACK IF IT WONT FIT!
Man...I wouldn't buy anything off of ebay without first checking to make sure it fit. It's an auction, not a department store....your just wasting peoples time and money.

I have bought tons of stuff off of the Bay. But my rule of thumb is if the price is wayyyy too good, it must be.

& NEVER EVER buy from ppl or places w/ negative ratings. I mean I recently saw one aftermarket seller that had over 2100 negatives! & people complain when things go wrong?? C'mon!

Even if you have to have that part, best to wait & spend a little more to get it retail & have that peace of mind.
