Default VRD fog lights (fakes?)

I am looking on ebay at these vrd fog lights:

Why are these fogs only $175.00 when vertex is still selling theres for almost $300.00 when they look the same to me?[/url]

damn ive been waiting to buy from them for a while now, thats gonna be my next mod.
now your making me think twice.
they are a power seller and have good feedback with the occasional bad one, buyers saying they never got anything and emails are ignored.
now im skeptical.

yellow, i saw how many negatives they have and compared to all the positives it was minute. so i went with it to save like sixty bucks, and i was told that these guys were legit by someone else on here.

thing is...i ordered the grilles and fogs (i wound up selling the ones i had, and bought these because they were less). a WEEK after i paid for them, they emailed me saying i never told them what color grille i wanted...even though i said i wanted black in the email i was told to send after paying.

i finally got an email and tracking number from them on the 12th...the tracking number works but when you check the status it says that the item hasnt even been picked up from them yet. i was SUPPOSED to be delivered yesterday.

i'm not sure whats going on....i emailed them yesterday demanding to know wtf was up...still waiting for an answer.

i'll let you know what happens, but if you do wind up buying from them, be careful.

i got my VRD fogs off of ebay from "directshoponline"

AFAIK they are a VRD dealer, had no trouble with them, paid $190 shipped.

^ i was gonna do that but they didnt have the grilles/fogs combo like other places did.

AND...to update my situation, these idiots at Kazespeed are now telling me that the grille I wanted wasn't in stock. EVEN THOUGH I emailed them two weeks ago (they claim they never got that email) and also on the 12th saying which one I wanted...on the 12th I got an email saying it was shipped, then lastnight after badgering the hell out of them they finally emailed me saying nothing was ever sent because it wasn't in stock. WHY WOULD YOU WAIT TWO WEEKS TO TELL ME THAT??

How do you send me an email saying you SHIPPED IT when you didnt even have one to send me???

I'm so livid with these morons right now that I'm tempted to just tell them to forget about it and send me my money back. I'll take my business elsewhere.

DON'T BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE.

From what i've heard I'd go with Direct Shop Online. I bought mine directly from VRD during their holiday sale.

idk, id like to save the extra money but i dont wanna deal with all the bullisht of having to file a claim just to get my product.

i just looked at Direct Sop Onlie's ebay store and i see the fogs but no grills and i really wanna buy the combo...unfortunately it seems like kazespeed is the only seller that offers it.

yellow...i'll let you know what happens. i'm just super frustrated with these guys. i have people willing to help me out with installing the fogs on the 29th so i needed them by then...i figured 23 days after paying for the item i'd have them in my hands. doesnt seem to look that way...who know's maybe you'll have better luck.

vrd does sell the combo on ebay for less than their site, but its still about 50 bucks more than kazespeed. at this point i think it may be worth it.

Buy em directly from VRD off their site today. They've got a Presidents sale goin on. 40% off. comes to 185 I believe. That way you can get it directly from them.
www.vertexracing.com
after you click add to cart or w.e You have to put valen2presi2wks40 in for the promo code.

Edit: I just checked it out. It comes out to 187. You put the code in on the bottom of the screen where u finalize your order.
