Ebay intake opinion
Before buying on Ebay one should always check the sellers feedback and how long they've been a member... Only buy from people you trust or have good feedback... doctors orders
I've got incredible deals on legit, brand name parts on ebay, but you must be careful and do your research on the seller if at all possible.
As far as buying Ebay Junk knockoff performance parts??? Even if I owned a civic, I wouldn't buy that crap. Especially not on a $40K car. Ludicrous.

I've been buying stuff from eBay for years now. so far, I've probably had about 5 jacked up transactions out of 140+. Not too bad.
I disagree with the consensus. The OP feels that the well known brand intakes aren't worth the money, so I support his trying this intake out. On his car.
Please let us know how it 1) fits, 2) works right off the bat, and 3) works 5000 miles down the road. I'm very interested to know. As long as your car is the guinea pig.
BTW, you guys with the F'ed up grills got what you had coming - a blind man could see that thing wasn't even close to fitting right and I TOLD YOU SO! Sorry, but that felt good.
Let nutsmasher here take one for the G37 team by buying this thing. I think it's got a better chance of being what it's supposed to be than the grille. I wouldn't buy anything even remotely questionable that involved my MAF because those are not cheap and you car will not work with out them.

At one time Microsoft cashback was giving 8-20% off on ebay purchases. I bought my access port for $499 after research to confirm the seller was an authorized Cobb dealer. That's another thing you need to be aware of when buying from ebay, whether or not manufacturer warranties will be honored.
Usually however I find I don't have to look any further then HPAutoWorks for the best price and service.

I wouldnt be suprised if fitment was bad and you had to do alot of bending/grinding/cutting to make them fit. Space is tight where the intake is, I even had trouble getting my Stillen Gen2's to fit.
