xenon lights - Some have had good experience, others haven't. So it's 50/50.
cold air Intake - Same as xenon lights
Lambo kits - I don't know of anyone who has bought one.
mod chips - POS

I buy most parts off of ebay!! mod chips wont work. lambo kits i havent seen anyone with them. lights and intakes sure. jsut have to be careful but ebay is not as bad as people think ![smile smile](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/smile.gif) jsut becasue you dont buy it from the name brand company, doesnt mean its going to be any less. esp if ur getting the same product but jsut a different seller for cheaper. I say go for it. ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif)

xenon lights - buy from sellers who have great feedback ratings and offer lifetime warranties. cold air Intake - make sure that the intake can fit and work in a celica. Lambo kits - I don't know of anyone who has bought one. mod chips - POS, the only mod chips that i know that work are for my playstation. but i doubt they sell mod chips for any game console nowadays. ![grin grin](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/grin.gif)

I havent had any good experiences with lights off there. I have had to buy 3 complete sets already now and each time from a differnt seller and each seller has had the life warrenty. but there warrenty is BS because you have to mail them the burned out bulb plus like $6 bucks to mail a new one back and when all is added up its just a few bucks short of a new set. I dont trust ebay anymore. for bulbs
cant say ive done that before... ahh crap

i bought almost all my mods for my celi off ebay... i think the quality just depends on the seller... just check the feedback and how many items they've actually sold and it should be fine...
except for the mod chips... i don't think i would ever put one of those on my car...

I got my CAI from Ebay and I never had any CEL or anything so far, I installed it 2 weeks ago though... But yeah, check out if it fits and especially if there's a damn hole for that 02 sensor !!! Some don't lol. Mine fitted but, let's say I had to ''customize'' and move some things around, wasn't so bad though. I have to say it was only 20 bucks.. and the filter quality is crap so I'm changing it already, really only spent the money for the piping !

I would really appreciate any input from ppl who have bought "celica/toyota parts" off ebay. If you're talking about those 4$ mod chips, they're nothing more than resistors you can get for 25 cents that fucks up you're ecu/sensor fuel/air mix. They only work above certain temperatures and can get your engine pretty hot. I don't exactly know the Ohm on those resistors though or how to connect that stuff...

I love Ebay parts!!! I got my Intrax 1.6 Lowering Springs for $99, my KYB AGX Adjustable shock/strut set for $324, my TRD Sport Sway Bar set for $179, my ADR Battle EXE 17" wheels for $300, and my Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Lines for $59. No problems with any of my eBay purchases.
