Front air-foil damaged again..
Wife messed up the front plastic airfoil again, the lower part of the front bumper. and it looks to be beyond repair. I see that Ebay has a bunch of aftermarket ones pretty cheap. Anyone have any experience doing this?
Looking for advice on which one to get.

I'd go OEM. The quality and exact measurements on aftermarket vary widely. Most are of very poor quality.
I'd also suggest checking with a body shop before ordering. You'd be surprised what they can fix. I just had mine repaired for the same damage.
The worst part of the story is that I was out of town last week when they completed the work. So, I had a friend pick up the car. No kidding, on the way from the body shop to my house he stopped for a coffee and ran the thing over a freaking parking curb! Screwed it all up again!

I hear ya. That's what I should do is let them fix it again. Good new about the curb rash on her wheels, I fixed that, though at a price. Did a bat turn and there was a curb hiding there (5am dark) and split two rims and bent the other two. Replaced them and with new rubber. Don't ask.
