Default ^^Real/Fake Pics GS300 L-Tuned Badges????^^^^

hey cl,
i recently purchased a set of L-tuned emblems from ebay
from a user named lexmaniac2, i did sum research and found that he was sellin fake emblems and real emblems

here is the listing off ebay that i won:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=

now i received the item recently and they look just like it in the pictures
each emblem is in it own template with instructions

now the question is that all all 3 emblems the same size or the REAR emblem is bigger?

thanks

You got the fake ones. Fleebay isn't a great place to purchase items. Always check out the classifieds section here. Always a great deal no matter what. If I were you, I'd ask for a refund.

since i have been on ebay since July of 2000, click on link below and u can verify that!

http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaymotors/...ab=AllFeedback

i review and research EVERY1 i buy from BEFORE i buy from them. what good does the research do after u have already bought and paid for an item? i even bought this black gs430 lexus from there too. if u scroll down at the feedbacks you'll see it. this is the 3rd car i have bought and i bought a motorcycle too plus tons of parts. do your research on people n not just ebay sellers, i mean all sellers. no matter what kinda deal if u think somethings funny bout the deal just walk away. i have had very few incidents by buying stuff this way

at the price too.......
