does this one seem like a good deal? I can never tell if I can trust ebay sellers or not:

Looks good to me, I've heard a few good things about Koyo.

E-mail the seller, ask if it comes with a warranty. Just to be on the safe side. I'm sure it will work fine for your setup, though.

Alright cool. So is the $132 w/ shipping a good price for the Koyo then? I went ahead and emailed the seller to make sure it was the right one and to find out about the warranty.

Sounds like a good price to me. I'd ask for a model number and check koyo's website to verify authenticity. I checked Koyo's website (http://www.koyo-radiator.com/Koyo_Acura_Radiators.html) and there prices average $299, on sale. If all looks well, your getting it at a third of MSRP. Also see if the manufacturer will honor the warranty. I like using ebay too, but sometimes there sellers are very crooked, and post misleading ads.

I guess if your not happy with the looks when you receive it, you can always sell it.

Did you use honda-tech market place at all? Sometimes they actually have better price & quality than ebay.

I have had a radiatorbarn OEM replacement radiator for about 2 years now. No problems and no leaks(*knocks on wood). Koyo is a really good brand though, so if you get a real one for under 300, go for it.

i saw on ebay that the all-aluminum ones were going for around $300 but keep in mind that this one is aluminum with plastic endtanks, simliar to OEM.
