Ebay Vs. Other Places

[Cheetoe00]

I have been looking at different items on ebay and at performance part websites and the parts on Ebay are alot cheaper. Example like cold air intake. Ebay shows it ranging from $16 to about $30. Where other performance places show around $100 for it? Are they different or the same? Another item is Altezza rear lights. They range from around the 60-70 on ebay and 100-200 on other sites? I Just got a 01 z24 cavalier and trying to get some stuff for it but I don't have a large budget to do it with. Any help would be great.


Thanks,
Eric

you wont find a true cold air intake on ebay, all of those are warm air intakes or short ram intakes, i got one from ebay, it sounds nice and theres a noticible difference in power, but its not a cold air intake, also be careful, alot of those (at least the one i got) say theyll work on the cavalier 2.2 but their not long enough, look at the item in the picture then look under your hood and see if it looks like it'll fit.....

also, next time you have a question, do a search before posting a thread that has been repeated 1000+ times

if you watch what you buy then your ok. i found a cai going for $50 and for the life of me i didn't bid. You just have to ask questions on things like that. as far as tail lights, mine worked fine that i bought off ebay

i have purchased many things off of e-bay i have bought my euro tail lights as alot of other little things e-bay is great for simple things but i bought a car alarm off of e-bay it didnt work and it was a MESS getting my money back for it but i think that was just bad luck for the most part e-bay is great just dont bid before your very sure of what your bidding on
