i had one in the past, it was black that lost its shine in like 5 months and cracked. fitment was great tho, probably a fresh coat of paint and clear would make it fine...but with that cost honestly rexpeed does color matched ones that are excellent. year ish and still looks new.

are the ebay VG fins angled like the OEM one? because without the angle, it won't function.

Depends on which ones you get. I know BaysonR sells copies that are molded from actual OEM ones. My friend bought a very cheap one from a seller and it didn't fit so I bought one from BaysonR and the fitment was perfect.

As for faded ones, most of the time, ppl don't paint them at all and just slap it on their car as-is. Flat black ABS plastic. If anyone bought good spray paint like UV resistant sprays, then it won't fade that fast.
