Proud owner. Been on for 10 years LOL. Track speeds in excess of 150mph

Fit is spot on IMO. Would buy again

Trick with the ebay ones is to ensure that the fins have the same orientation as the OEM ones. Some don't have the fins oriented correctly and they pretty much do nothing.

Pretty darn sure it was from BaysonR but I see he only is advertising the carbon look VG

Keep in mind this was about 8 years ago. Its likely there are not too many diff types, just diff suppliers.

My Ebay one faded about 2 years later, and the fitment was good except the tape supplied came off. Its possible I messed that up, but if I were to do it over again I would paint it before I put it on.

My carbon fiber ebay knock off didn't fit well, on the driver side it keeps coming up, so I added a small rubber lip to the edges, now it's not as noticeable.
