Anyone have experience with these eBay splitters

Looking for comments, feedback and opinions on these front splitters. OEM prices are insane so I am looking into alternatives.

I'm in reston...if u get them I'd be interested to see the quality and can help install if needed. As people in the other thread mentioned...if they get damaged it won't hurt your pocket too much


Edit: btw I'm looking for these too and I think I remember hearing good reviews about eBay seller "happybuyitnow" cf parts

Interesting...I might look into them but they aren't at the top priority of my mod list. I just can't come to terms with paying $650 or whatever it is for OEM. WTF! For something that can easily and inadvertently get damaged.

I actually have them on my car. The fitment is fine but one of the splitters had some damage on the carbon fiber. looked like a one of them had been stretched on the crease, like when bending something plastic.

What would you rate it for the price? i mean does it still look sick and is the fitment good enough to not look flimsy or cheap? Rate them 1-10...don't compare to OEM of course because I'm sure they don't "really" compare well against them.

Agreed. I might just get them and see what happens with the speed bumps in my neighborhood

I'm going to get the Swift Springs and install those before I get this mod. I will likely pic these up because they're priced well, but I need to do something about this fender to wheel gap ratio asap.

I just bought and installed CF splitters from the same company and they are on point. Fit and finish is as good as it gets. Even mounting holes are perfect which is rare for a non-genuine product. I'll try to get better pictures later.

Be sure to get molding tape.

Which tape did you use? The auto zone 3m tape hasn't been working very well for me.

I have this on my car! It looks fine and easy install. Fitment is 9/10 for me. Worth the $$$!
