Anyone have experience with EBay front lips?
Found this online...much cheaper alternative.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-W204-C63-AK-STYLE-Carbon-Fiber-front-Lip-spoiler-splitter-2008-2011-/281208329987?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4179529703&vxp=mtr
Thoughts? I know the more expensive lips are better parts but cmon...$1000+ is ridiculous. Aero parts for these cars are extremely overpriced.

Still expensive at $410 shipped. VFR Tuning might be a good alternative as they may have a better customer service and shipped from US.
I'm a bit concerned about ordering stuff from eBay coming from Asia due to shipment. If it's damaged, it's a pain to deal with as eBay sellers such as this don't have to customer service . You have to deal with email and paypal.

AutoFans and 4A Motorsports being at the top and they are actually the same company.
I bought this splitter last week from 4A, once it arrives I will post up pics of fitment and announce quality.
On a side note, Messaged them after my purchase and they told me, if I have any issues to let them know an they will fix it!
Having said that, I have bought a lot o stuff from them over the years and they know that.
They are the large manufacturers that supply the bulk of our US suppliers.

I bought a diffuser off of eBay way back. The fins on the diffuser were crooked. Some parts are harder to make correctly than others, so I'm only entertaining grabbing simple things from eBay. The front lip should be pretty straightforward, so I might give it a shot.

It is a hit and miss. They use ****ty molds and two pieces never come out looking the same. I've tried ebay cf parts for my old w203 and bmw 3 series and will never try again.
