Good to hear your car is staying out of trouble! Have a good time down there and come back in one piece.

The first time I read this, I thought you were selling your wheels, but then it clicked

Lol...I was just trying to make the point that eBay isn't all bad service and cheap quality. In fact, many of the vendors on forums also sell on eBay. As long as you know what you're looking for and what to avoid, you should be fine.

depends on the parts and what you want out of them. I'm not saying you'll get jacked w/ ordering parts on ebay.

Things I would easily order on ebay for my car and actually have in the past are lowering springs & intakes, but that's about it.

You could get just about any name brand stuff on there. Exhaust, intake, springs, even wheels as Peng pointed out. As long as you can trust the seller or determine the pictures are actually the product and it's true name brand and not some cheap know off, all fine to buy. I bought my bumpers, hood, white face gauges, intake, and just about all other parts for my Stang on ebay.

Should be decent all next week according to the weather forecast but you never really know in MN. Tails are getting tinted tomorrow and should have final pics by sunday.

I see. Mine are tinted. I've been waiting to get pulled over for it but havent yet. You can still see the lights fine, but some officers are just looking to be an douche. Same with my windows, I have them at 35% with prescription for 30%, but havent had any issues yet.
