eBay junk? eBay offers alot of name brand parts cheaper than you can get it anywhere else. WHY DO SO MANY OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE A BAD SENTIMENT TOWARDS EBAY?!?!?!?!? I have said it before. It seems most of you have money and would rather pay more for the same part. I am in college and do not share this thought process.

Brand names aren't junk.It's the Ebay knock offs that are junk.I've taken the bait a couple of times and been screwed.
No more!
Brand name items on Ebay for me only.

BTW,those sport pedals on Ebay are not a Lexus part.
They're what that company is calling "Lexus Style".

of course it is not Lexus OEM.. but the styling and design is not bad IMO, not sure about fitment though

The ad says they fit.
The part is shipped from Taiwan.
The OEM are stainless steel.The knockoffs are aluminum.
Going by the pics,I feel the OEMs look like the quality is better,IMO.

Oh, ok. I was kind of shocked by some eBay posts earlier. I agree, knock-offs are usually not the best, but I have been lucky on most of the stuff. I have also done heavy research on the knock-offs first though, so that may be the source of this good luck. I know I can get a Fujita intake off of eBay for $175 shipped, and that's cheaper than anywhere else I have found.

Given that there are a lot of scams on ebay, but just have to research the seller before making the purchase.

It's too bad, i remember when ebay first came out that it was really nice, good prices and honest people; now it's a mix of scammer's and good business people.

To the original OP, I would say pick what you like. If you like the style and the cost is a concern, than go for the aftermarket.

Joe, I have to agree, I could never use those knock off's. They are rather big and not as sporty as the OEM's. It is all a matter of opinion I guess (LOL).
