Like I stated above, I would never buy any engine related stuff on the bay. Would always go with the vendor or the company itself. But for little things or anything else, I would go for it. Taking into consideration that everything is good! You just have to bid safe. If in doubt, walk away.

I got one of the cheap HAI off of ebay, it actually wasn't too bad. Also got two different MINI jackets. Very nice.

I have the $35 rear strut brace from Ebay. It looks like the Pilo one, but is made by Aspec Performance (or something along those lines) It helps reduce the vibration caused by the rear speakers, but I'm not sure how much it affects the handling yet
