Same price, free ground shipping. Slightly lighter than Stillen's stock size lightweight replacement.

Stillen: 1.32lbs

Unorthodox 1.20lbs

Thoughts?
Well, Unorthodox is at least a company I've heard of before, so it's not like you're going with a total no-name. I'd still rather have the Stillen unit. Seems funny to me someone's selling it for our car on ebay when the mfg doesn't list a 370Z application yet (although to be fair, even Stillen is using the same part number across the same range of applications). Also, the design of that pulley looks like it would be a major pita to remove with a puller (those little round holes), the Stillen one looks pretty easy. They also list our stock pulley as being 8.25 lbs, which is definitely inaccurate. Stillen claims the stock units are 4.72. I didn't weigh mine, but that sounds about right from when I removed it.
