    My opinion you get what you pay for. I have heard some horror stories about the lining up with templates etc, and would it have the UV protection ?? I've seen what happens to plastics from cars from overseas here in Australia due to the Suns rays UV. Personally I don't understand why people spend 60K plus on a vehicle but would put some cheap shit on it to save a few hundred bucks on some thing that is vital to stopping water from entering their engine. Not having a go at you in any way every one likes to save some coin where they can but some things just arnt worth the chance.... Cheers Steve

        Thanks for all your comments ,Steve your very right , I'm not going to buy that snorkle, I just saw it on ebay since I'm browsing for something else( folding mirror module to be exact) and bumped in to it. not my priority at the moment as I'm not going to use it soon enough. 2 inch lift is the next mod, after this bling bling mirror module.
        Thanks

          Glad to hear mate. I'd hate to see you put some cheap crap on your vehicle only for it to let you down in quality and its purpose of being on there in the first place. I wish the 120's come out with folding mirrors. I wonder if there is any around over seas, they always seem to get all the bits n pieces we miss out on, but I presume if they were available for the 120's at least our top of the range grande's would of had them ?? I presume your referring to a 150 for your mirrors ?? ...cheers Steve

                Ceaser, I bought a cheap eBay snorkel about two years ago and installed it myself. It fitted up just fine and I've had no issues with it at all including river crossings etc. Had one on my Hilux before that as well, also with no issues.Would love to be able to buy brand name everything but for many, me included it's not an option.

                Cheers

                  I fitted a cheapy an a little suzuki jimmy runabout I had a couple of years ago. Quality was great, template was great and had it for years with no fading or issues. Maybe I was lucky but I would buy another cheapie based on my experience. I was lucky when I bought the prado it had a safari fitted.

                        I don't have the receipt in front of me but I think it comes down to about $367 from memory.

                        Cheers,

                            Nah mate, at least with a cleanskin you have half a chance of it being good. The eBay snorkel in the link doesn't even come with installation instructions, it does say a template is included though.

                              I don't get the logic, +$60K ride, and installing "cheap things" from eBay.

                              I don't do that anymore, brand name or nothing. Either online or from brick and mortar.
