Wing off Ebay - White Carbon Fiber - How will it look on a WW EVO?

Im debating on buying this wing since I can't find an OEM wing in WW.

Here is the item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290933273133...S:1123&vxp=mtr


The sides are carbon fiber white the seller says but im curious how it will look on a wicked white 05 EVO RS. Does anyone happen to have this and can provide me some pictures?

Looks similar to the stock Evo 8 ones except the bolts don't show on the eBay one, looks good to me, not sure of the quality and fitment though

STAY AWAY!!!!!!

The sides are NOT carbon fiber... there are small carbon fiber plates screwed to the insides, it's all fiberglass construction with a carbon fiber overlay on top of the center section.

It's a bad copy of an Evo 8 wing.

OK, on a semi-related note....

I have a dealer I work with that has 4 evo 8 wings... I am considering buying them, refinishing them and selling them.

What would an evo 8 wing be worth freshly refinished and color matched?

What would it be worth fully clear coated and full carbon fiber?
