iv ordered a lot of stuff off ebay maybe like 20 items so far and ive done probabaly like 3 claims. 2 claims for items i didnt recieve and seller never responded to me so i got my full money back on them and 1 itm from some store seller who sent me a e-mail after i won and item super cheap that he had sold the item in his store location already i was like bs just cause i won it cheap he didnt wana sell it to me but i just got my money back on that too. All the other transactons have been pretty smooth and quick shipping too. Im my words ebay is cool just gotta becarful who you buy from. Thew most i waited for an item was like 3 weeks but thats when i order out of country.

One for the good list... Jdm_Planet. I bought my CTR swap from them. The product was exactly as described and actually arrived 2 days earlier than what I had expected...

I bought my replacement clutch from gripforce-clutches.
I ended up ordering the Exedy Stage 1 Racing Clutch for my civic which is a little expensive than what I was looking for, but it's all good.

has anyone heard of or bought anything from intesespeed ? :drive::drive:
I was thinking about buying front and rear PU type-r lips from them. I don't think anyone has commented on them yet. If I do end up getting those I'll let you know how intensespeed is.

I've bought a ton of stuff from eBay and they've all been positive experiences. Car stuff, clothes, sneakers, video games, jewelry, etc. All good.

But as with anything, buyer beware.

Buyers need to be informed and 100% sure they know what they are looking for and looking at.

- Same company, sell tons of super cheap knock off crap. Fast shipping, quick communication. Customer service is dumb as a sack of hammers. Really bad at problem solving. Part quality you can guess from the prices, totally a case of "you get what you pay for" Pretty much a given. I took a chance on some cheap stuff and got what I deserved. Use your head.


Currently going back and forth with this guy:
"jdm-gtr-car" http://www.ebay.com/usr/jdm-gtr-car?_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754
So far he's sold me the OEM wind deflectors for my car. They're SUPER rare at this point, in good condition, and the price was right - or so I thought. I asked the guy specifically if there was any cracks, chips, or heavy scratches on the parts, aslo that all of the clips were included and none broken. He respond and said all clips are fine, no issues there and the parts show sign of use, but nothing offensive. So that was a green light. I got the parts in a so-so amount of time. They looked good, I could see from pulling them out, the clips were there, but I never ispected them extensively. I mounted them up, PlastX'd the deflectors, looked good. Noticed the rear passenger side looked kinda funny so I inspected. The clip was broken off at some point and someone epoxied it back on, badly at that. So I hit this guy up. He wanted me to ship them back and would give me a full refund, but since they're so hard to find over here, I asked if he could source a replacement for the broken one and we would swap. He kept insisting I try to fix the part or I could return it. A box that big going back to Japan is going to be a huge chunk of change for something that wasn't my goof to begin with, so I instead left him negative feedback. THEN he messages me, basically BRIBING me with $20 to remove the feedback (was 100% until I came along). I told him find me the part and when I get it, I'll remove the negative feedback. He drug his heels and now he's stuck with the red mark. Still trying to get the part out of him so I can have a nice set and I told him I'd follow up on my feedback stating all is good. Waiting game =)

zspeedstarz is bad--

bought header and catback exhaust from these fools and they via their stores fitment application claims it fits my vehicle, which it doesn't. They also neglect to mention that their header eliminates my catalytic converter which had to be replaced to a different area of the exhaust requiring lengthening of the oxygen sensor cabling and the purchase of a new CA cat. converter ($300) which was supposed to bolt in in place of their place holder fake (racing) catalyitc converter. In the end, this too had to be cut and welded into place, wasting another $100 There were bolts required for assembly missing and a gasket that blew in the first 30 seconds of testing that I had to replace and in the end, i still had to drive it into my local muffler specialist (dragging on the ground) and have him cut the thing up and weld it back together in 3 or 4 places to make it fit. Then to make it sound reasonable i had to scrap the catback exhaust tip and have him weld on a magnaflow open muffler and a snazzy looking tail pipe with a ceramic inner sleave to help me forget the whole ordeal. $185 turned into $800 really quick, and all because they (and their you tube videos neglect to mention any problems that may arise during fitment of the various model of Civic they claim their product will fit.
