Default 2nd post...1st mod

Well that didn't take long. Bought my car last Friday and have purchased my first mod. I was on ebay and found a guy selling NIB F-sport exhaust...for start bid 499.00 buy it noy 599.00. No bids on it with about 1 hour left so I figured what the hell...put 525.00 down. Only one other guy was interested..when it was all said and done...picked it up for 545.00...good deal I think....

So here is my question...if it is NIB, do I have to buy anything else to put this thing on? Are gaskets/o-rings included?

thanks and hope this is the first of many posts....

If it's a brand new in the box exhaust it will come with all the parts you need to install. Parts guy at Lexus told me when I was looking for parts for my installation. $525 sounds too good to be true, if the seller made a mistake I wonder if they'll renege on the sale. However, good eye and good pick up!

Just did a search on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS...item336aaeb013

Great find, but the seller has 0 feedback. I'm guessing they didn't know how to sell it properly because search "fsport" and "f-sport" brings up different search results. Technically the seller is bound to complete the sale with you, but they are selling for 50% less than usual. I've found with 0 feedback sellers, once they made a mistake like this, they will ignore your messages and never log into ebay again lol.

Shipping is $25 for UPS Ground and $125 Next day air. This is a steal of a deal! Good luck trying to complete it

Yup $25 shipping....tracking number 1ZY5V9280345094638. So "something" shipped....I guess we'll see. Zero feedback had me wondering...but just maybe....this will work out.

actually sounds kinda legit. he says he's selling it for a friend that didn't install it. Had it lying around, just wanted to get rid of it and sold it cheap. Its believable, if it is legit you got a great deal!
