Starts cheap dosent mean itll end cheap. It is an auction and auctions tend to get more views with lower prices.

Look at his shipping price - that's where he's picking up the slack.

Its just a copy item. Many of these items cost a few dollars to make. "Trust me it fits" is a throw away line isnt it.

yah... kind of like the brabus pins on ebay for 40 bucks. PRoblem is they are replica's. Some of the guys lie through their teeth and say they are legit........... I decided one day to message them to find out. Only one answered truthfully...... the rest lied like dogs.
Be careful when you shop for stuff like this on EBAY....you might end up with more of a PITA than you bargained for.

You guys might be better off ordering this kinda stuff through our sponsors. At least you'll have some kind of recourse if something goes wrong.
