I've had some good and bad experiences. Best way is to check out feedback rating and read all the neutrals / negatives, if any. Some stuff I ordered looked good online, but when I recieved them they were generic. I say the seller should at least have 1000 + good feedback or be a major distributer to trust them. Try messaging others who have bought the same product and see if they're happy with it.
Good Luck

trader ratings don't lie.. at least most of them. if possible try contacting the sellers previous customers. he has a 96% positive feedback rating. 128 positive/2 neg. in the past month.
i have tons of stuff from ebay-
call the business, ask many questions(write down what they say!)
and if you are still not sure call the BBB(better biz bureau) inquiring about them.
and at last- ask one of the cali i-club chapters if they have ever done business with that company.

I sold some stuff to a guy who had about 80 positive feedbacks, no negatives and he paid me and a few other people with a stolen CC. But those guys look like they are a business so thats different. Do what Greg suggested and you should be fine.

some of the other things i look for in a seller, is how fast they reply back to your e-mails.
if someone is not very helpful and to lazy to even check there e-mail then i would not trust that seller....i mean if the guy is too lazy to click a few buttons then what makes me think he'll send my item on time or at all?!.....i also ask if there will be a tracking number with my purchase. i usualy bid on items that can be tracked by myself.

haha....no i didnt order it yet. most likely next week friday depending on my budget (crossing fingers)....yeah i dont know why shipping is $50 more for you though.. that suks.
dont know if sending it to my house is possible though. seems like you have to pay through credit card over the phone and i think that they'll only send the hood to the billing address. it'll be cool with me if its possible
i gotta quote form Z1 performance and shipping would be $375 for me on that same hood!....how you figure that?!
oh and did you order your fmic yet?

no actualy i didnt order that fmic, it would be worthless to me right now since my turbo kit didnt come in yet
.....oh let me rephrase myself....$375 JUST for shipping! and thats not even the cost of the hood.
you must have some major credit then if you dont got the $$$.....brand new FMIC ,Carbon fiber hood ,Vis carbon trunk.....sheesh

i've gotten stuff off ebay without problems...but on the other hand i was screwed out of $40 by an ebay'r who also happened to be an i-club member.
i only deal with vendors who have perfect or near-perfect feedback.
