Yes...everyone is cool...but the best advise is
1. Know your product you buy
2. you pay for what you get
3. always get his/her phone number, and call before you send the money to see if it works..and inform the seller..your sending it today
4. follow up to see if he/she received your money VIA EMAIL...because he might be caught up in his life to send the product ASAP!

Martian01 is a great guy.
My stuff from him is expected to arrive tomorrow.

in addition to jhbhatia advice:
Whenever doing "unsecure" transactions, I use a credit card for protection. I have been burned on money orders. Or you can ask for an ebay auction that you "buy it now" as soon as the auction posts. ebay offers up to $175 protection.

I'm pretty trustworthy of a person if they are responsive and answer all my questions but.... when dealing with high amounts of money either use paypal or pay with a credit card because you are covered if the seller doesn't deliver. Martain01 seems like a really nice trustworthy guy

Have been busy selling my stuff.. was trying to catch up the missed discussions and found this thread.. shocked that i've become the topic.. its like i'm am the headline "criminal of the day" 8)

Few things need to be clarified:
1) YES i am here to rip people off.... :evil: NOOOO if i want to rip ppl off i could just post on ebay.. brag and lie its brand new in box or something
i post it here because you people appreciate solara, have this "solara IQ" and know the value of these parts
2) i admit my price is not low but hey i did lower the price for members of this forum.. these parts i am selling are sooo new and i really dont want to lose too much money on them (unfortunately i already did.. bad bad investment) i bought these parts, spent quite an amount of money having them put on, spend another quite an amount of money having them taken off.. gosh i guess i won't spend any more on cars...
3) about the bodykit i sold to Optimus i still feel very sorry about the packaging.. but when dealing with such huge shipment like bodykit i really had no choice.. UPS was going to charge me $300 plus packaging material cost.. sending by postal service w/o boxes was the only way to save on the shipping cost and time..
for writing all these crap i just want to thank those who think me as a trustworthy guy.. i am sorry you are all wrong.. :vamp: NOOOOO thanks you were all right about it

i still love the car i used to own.. :cry:

my friends kept telling me its dark too but i never felt same way.. guess i am kinda deluded by the blue color thinking its bright enough.. i replaced the piece thats for the blinking signal to blue too so i guess thats why it doesnt resemble the picture i posted..
