Difference between ebay and sponsor diffuser?

New E55 AMG owner here Well I'm looking into getting a diffuser and looking at JBSpeed's diffuser and the ebay one, they look identical...but the ebay one is alot cheaper. So the question is it the same product? I have searched the archives but no result...

Anyways here's a pic of my new car just for kicks.



Cheers!

I'm sure that they both are made outside the USA in Taiwan or china.

They are very similar from pictures.... JBSPEED will tell you that they might be the same but his service is much better....


To be fair he will respond so fast it will make your head spin.... Good guy but he also is in KOREA or something so its hard to get returns or stuff if problems arise.....

We have great sponsors here- but imo it's pointless to pay almost double the price for a completely identical part.

Same product. But have to make sure you get good quality, sometimes the foreign sellers may get a bad batch and send that to you but over the years they have come to learn feedback on ebay is important so there much better than they use to be.

I bought from JBspeed and I can tell you that... they are all the same.
Exactly the same so just find a high rating in ebay from Taiwan not China.
