They are pretty much the same as OEM. Lot's of fine vendors have them.

I don't think they can be replaced without the front end up.

I'd go with the aftermarket pieces. Most are comparable quality and robustness as OEM. For a little bit of lift try driving the front tires up on a 2x4 or a brick. It's only a couple of inches but at the right angle that will improve the access pretty good.

We replaced the spoilers. Maybe $100 or so (from the stealership, yeah I know better now). The center one was missing when we bought her. We parked her at the edge of our driveway so the nose was hanging over a little but the tires were still on the concrete. Laid on the ground put them on. Took maybe 30 minutes. Searched forum, read how to do it and got the tools together before we started.
