Know your parts!

Uh- Ive sold and bought over 100 items on ebay. what this guy did can be considered fraud. Id take it up with Ebay and tell them what is going on.

Technically, you should have received EVERYTHING in the picture. I dont see anywhere in the description that it says that you get whats in the box only.

One thing you can do to protect yourself is make sure that all correspondence with the seller is done through ebays email system. That way they have a record of the emails back and forth.

Either way, I think you have a case. Id take it up with ebay if the seller will not take it back. Otherwise you are out almost $300.00

Well, in this case I am lucky enough that the part received will still work. In reality, I like it better, it's just gonna take a a different route of planning for it to work (it's actually already installed and set up, just waiting for my new PCV and air temp sensor to arrive to complete).

As for the fraudulent issue, ya, it is sketchy, but as I said, I do assume some of the responsibility. The part number is indeed the part I received. His picture portrays the older model. If the part didnt fit and wasnt worthy of fabrication, I would have gone for a full refund. The seller was understanding and probably would have taken a refund deal if I did not decide to give the intake a try.

You are right though. And that is the whole point of my starting this thread. With the rarity of the VX, we are usually forced to look to aftermarket parts for other vehicles, so some research should always be done before dropping any hard earned money.

I'm guessing that's the one from the link I posted...I'm sorry it turned out to be a fabrication nightmare for you.
