Not too bad for Ebay.

Install was easy. Nice little upgrade and doesn't break the bank, especially since this is almost like a wear item

Looks good. Is it a 3 piece like OEM? I've seen some that are 5 piece. All line up well?

Lined up well but it took some time to get it there. The pieces have grooves that connect to each other so they lock together.

I actually got the link from another on here. It was $93 shipped. That's why I bought it.

The cheapest I could find. It’s from China so it’ll probably take between 6 weeks to 4months to ship.

I bought one from Ebay and it took about 5 days to get it. I think it was around $150.00. Nowhere near the price of the vendors I've seen around. It fit very good and easy to install using factory hardware. It is a 3 piece 5VM. Gloss black, but not far from the carbon flash, and most people wouldn't notice anyway. The center black panel on the car is not carbon flash and it blends very well.

I did see it. These aftermarket splitters are much nicer than the OEM and the price is right!

This looks higher than stock? Mine is beat up after 4500 on these crummy roads. Lower than my Mach 1 that lasted 10,000 miles without a scratch. Should have got the lift kit.
