Ebay Replica Wing?

I was wondering if anybody has bought a wing off ebay that is not an OEM wing but a "Certified OEM replacement"? My evo didn't come with a wing and I really want it to have the stock wing look, will I regret not spending the extra on OEM?

My opinion would be to buy a used one off the forums. Ive seen them go from 60-200 depending on condition.

That's what I'm thinking too, but I can't post in the for sale section yet. Would I be better off going with a 9 wing because of the 8's clearcoat issues?

I personally like the VIII wings more because they are full carbon fiber. With some elbow grease you can fix the clearcoat issues. Purchase a used one from someone on the forums, I am sure there are some available right now.
