Experiences buying body parts from amazon/eBay
I’m seeing a lot of the same/similar body kit parts (spoiler, diffuser, front lip etc.) for the c43 for much cheaper than the more widely known part manufactures... what are people’s experiences with buying parts from amazon/eBay? Is their fitment issues, quality issues?

My experience is that they tend to fade within a year or so. The 3M they come with is not good so you will need to purchase your own and cut/paste it. They don't always fit perfectly with sometimes slight space between the part and the car itself. = spoiler and front lips. Body kits are never perfect but depending on the company that makes it, they do reflect the price which I have found is true to the test. In other words, if it's cheaply prices, it's also cheaply made.

Exactly what i was going to say looking at the title of the post. 
OP: Spend the extra to go with someone that's reputable or is known to have quality products that fit. It'll save you headache and money in the long run.
