Product Details

Found you on ebay, best deal on the part I was looking for!

Shipping it a little high.. I think offering different shipping methods for lower prices would be nice. Other that that the transaction went as smoothly as possible!

Easiest ordering ever with fast delivery!

It was fast and easy hopefully there the correct parts

A+

Autoplicity must have sent my Airaid CAI within hours of my order because UPS delivered it right away. I even got it before I received an e-mail indicating the order had been processed or a notification of shipping e-mail. <br><br>The online advertised price seems to vary by about $20 and that means that you must monitor the site if you are to get the lower price. However, Autoplicity has arranged with BuySafe to give you the difference if you establish an account with them and go through the process. This process was not easy as there was an apparent database problem where the Autoplicity URL was not taken by BuySafe. A call to BuySafe got that worked out, I am hopeful that I will receive the refund promised via paypal. It looks like a good system if it works.<br><br>The bottom line is that Autoplicity offers the best online price by far and although my unfamiliarity with how they do things caused some confusion on my part, they do have a good order processing and price guarantee in place.

Thank you!
