I would be very careful with a body kit from ebay. Can you post a link?

I think the seller has 3 kits for the GS, maybe just 2. His kits are always there and I believe the most expensive is around $500 plus shipping. Here's a link to the sellers store:

http://stores.ebay.com/Aero-Designs

As for eBay itself, it's a great place to get a deal on just about anything you might be looking for. I've been a memeber since Jan. 1999. There are problems and I've heard of some horror stories. Make sure you ask questions if you have any doubt about the quality of an item or if something isn't clearly stated in the description. My personal experience with eBay has been fantastic.

Most kits on ebay are replicas and you probably wont be happy with it...
I would talk to one of the CL approved vendors (SUPRATRD) and see what they can do for you.

yeah, those "Invader Z" or whatever body kits on ebay are usually poor quality, thats why they sell it so cheap. I would rather save up and invest it in a better body kit.

from what ive learned on CL, buying replica kits from ebay end up leaving you with fitment issues that become more of pain and cost to try and install correctly on your GS. You get what you pay for when saving money on replica kits, but to go that route, be sure the seller is at least reputable, and can answer fitment issues/concerns you may have prior to your buying. good luck

Something I'ved learn from CL is if you want quality parts for your Lex. Don't rush & regret your purchase. be patient Young grasshoppa & save so you can get the one you really want.
Whatever yo choice, happy hunting.
