I just put their product on this past weekend (Indy-Motorwerks). Seems fine to me. My car was missing the middle part, so can't compare, but the new one, as well as the side pieces bolted up fine. I ordered new hardware (extra $5), but the screws were the wrong size. Shipping was quick and the packaging was secure. Got mine from them via eBay for $91.95 ($74.95 for parts, $12 shipping, $5 screws).

Thanks for the good review. Did they replace the wrong screws for you?

I didn't bother asking, they were only 5 bucks. I reused my existing screws. I was missing 2 screws, but just picked up a couple at Lowes.

I recently purchased the air dam sides from Indy Motorworks. The pieces sure look OEM and they were $19 each and free shipping. Also purchased aluminum angle from Home Depot and made supports for the air dam sides. I simply cut a V in the angle where the air dam end turns and bent it to conform and then drilled ther appropriate holes to mount. Came out perfect. You have support at the portion of the car where they are screwed on but the vertical part of the angle for support also.
