Where's the best place to buy Altezza's?

I'm looking for a set for my 97. I looked on Ebay but the all the vendors feed feedback are not very good in my book. I also tried Summit but they only have stock ones or a set for $400

I've heard of a couple of people buy from these two places, but most go through ebay:

and

http://www2.partstrain.com/v5/produc...Altezza+Lights



I've looked through ebay also and it seems the prices there are better than most. A lot fo the people's feedback would concern me too, but there are a few I might take a chance on for $100 less than other places.

Thank you David. You're right about the pricing. I'll read some of the feedbacks on the vendors on Ebay. Some times they are BS because people don't read or just can't be pleased.

I've always tried to deal with people above the 98% feedback, but I've take a chance on a few others before. If someone has lower than that, I'll read through their feedback to see what's up with them.

What style lights are you looking for? Clear, smoked? I'll help look around for some others also...

I would probably buy from that guy. He responds to negative and even feedback to give reason on them and says he gives refunds (says he does anyway), so at least he takes the time to respond on bad press. Looks like everyone that got lights from him were happy though...

That's what I was thinking myself.

I noticed a lot of the negatives all the vendoers receive are for ricer parts. Mostly mufflers. Go figure

The only way you'll get a positive from a ricer buying a muffler is to make a muffler that slides over and down the pipe and bolts into place. That and sell a big sticker with it.

Good one David.

That sticker has to add 20 HP at the least.
