Ebay Vortex generator

has anybody experienced the ebay vortex generator? quality wise is it worth it or should i just go and buy one off one of are good vendors of evom? i mean its somewhat of a price difference but as the old saying goes you get what you pay for.

You may have to do a search, but I recall a guy posting pictures of a VG he got for like $30 or $40. He needed to do some shaving to make it fit. If that's your cup of tea to save some bucks then get the eBay one.

I got mine off of ebay and it fits perfectly. If you decide to go w/ebay then check the sellers feedbacks to make sure they sell a quality product. I have bough many things off of ebay and so far so good.

Appauldd installed one on his car and did a write up on it. I can not find the link right now but if you ask him he will tell you all about it. He is leaving soon for military so you may want to catch him today. I have seen the one he did and it looked good. I hope this helps.

how much is this Ebay VG that you're planning on buying? I saw one on Ebay for a CF VG that's much cheaper than the vendors here but not sure about fitment. Pls post pic of it on your Eblue. GL!!

i've seen that also, but as a few others said its going to be a pita job fixing it up to fit on. as opposed to an oem one you would buy from one of our vendors. as i said im still awaiting to see if Z-1 will color coat mine.
