Default Barney Throttle Body on Ebay

First off I thought the "barney" TB was purple...hence the Barney. I did not know they were polished aluminium. My guess is there is some false advertisements here I could be wrong but since SR's name was used I thought I would let you guys know.

Yeah, i've spoken with this seller in the past about some other Tiburon items: z Fenders, Headers and TB. This seller say's that he orders directly from same place as SR orders from. But I would be a little concerned ordering/bidding. He was trying to PUSH the z3 fender pretty hard..and he insisted that they were from the "new mold" which i thought that they (SR's source) haven't make it even yet. If interested in the TB..just join in on the GB and feel 100% safe about your order.

This guy was trying to be one of our retailers, buying products from us at wholesale. But we havent even sold him anything yet, so I dont know where he is going to get the products from.

When I last spoke with him, he had just put in a $3k order thru. Thru who..I have no idea. But his feedback on Ebay hasent went up by one yet. And he's posted about 20 auctions for Tiburon parts. Wonder where he got that BBTB from then. (to take that pic) Is the picture of a Barney or normal SR TB?

He is claiming it is a Barney, adjustable, but the color is polished aluminum with some gold parts on it or something???

I would not buy from him either way, I would still buy it from SR before I bought it from some guy saying he got it from SR. I just thought you guys might like to know...

Why buy from a middleman when we get the parts direct (and at a discount if you're a member)?

And I guarantee you Sam (boogyman) gives better customer support than this guy.

i'd support a company like SR or KORE that is actively developing and supporting hyundai's and not some middleman looking to gain a quick buck. I might be completely wrong, but i'd rather give my money to SharkRacing. Anyway, GB, get in on it, lets get it cheap!

Like I said, I was just looking around on Ebay for Tib stuff and say it thought I would post it here. Was not sure if SR would like someone out on Ebay using there name and some of there pics(other auctions). Personally I have a stock TB on its way that I will be having bored and polished.
