I got my brand new Junction Produce Type II exhaust on ebay for cheaper than i got my brand new 5zigen Mega's for. Felt pretty awesome considering JP Type II"s are doubled the price of Mega's

Pure sex. Everything from the single black L badge to the chrome exhaust. This right here is SC perfection. I hope mine looks this good some day.

Oh yay, almost forgot.
LS400 calipers $20 for both.

Well, consider that I live in Argentina where everything is waaaay too expensive.
My steal where my 370z wheels with yokohamas on them, all four for u$s1600. Here only the tires cost u$s750 each
And you are there buying a complete SC with that money...

I bet theres no "hellaflush" in Argentina.

I suppose the best steal I've gotten isn't really a thing, but a service. I got a free AC service for my SC... no stellar deals on parts though.

When i got them they were practically new. Previous owner said there were about 10 miles on them before he got into an accident.

Yes, there´s some "hellaflush" (drop the car as much as possible? Am I right?), but not with stunning cars =)
BTW, I can´t even drop an inch because I live in a mountain city and with the standard height I need to be very careful to not scratch my loved SC.

No, you should sell it to me for 1.5k and THEN it'll be a steal

Not quite a steal, but I got a 97+ bumper, vertex style side skirts, and an authentic vertex lip for less than the price of a new vertex lip.

$5 on 1uz bellhousing is the best deal I've ever came across for my 400

Actually I bought the whole trans for $80 at pickapart took the belhousing off and sold a tranny for 120, the rest of the profit went in 2 hours pulling the trany out of ls
