The eBay splitters I bought a while back are one of the best things I've purchased for my car. My car is lowered and the splitters do hang low enough to take on a considerable amount of rock chips/scraping on even the slightest of inclines. I had the OEM ones before I got the eBay splitters, and while the eBay ones aren't perfect, they're a fantastic value:

Fitment: 10/10. No gaps or size issues, same fitment as OEM.
Weave: 9/10. There is slight distortion in the eBay splitter's weave but you only notice it if you look up close.

They are disposable parts given the amount of rock chips and scrapes mine receive. I've been a vocal critic of aftermarket ripoffs in the past, and while every other part on my car is OEM, I will say that I'm not spending $600-800 on a part that will get easily damaged.

Looks like the OEM splitter has a straight front to back || weave line, whereas the ebay one is slanted //.

What does it look like with both ebay splitters on? Are they both // ?
Or is one // and the other \\ ?

On your other thread I saw the link to the vendor you recommended... Is $135 the cost for one or both front splitters?? So for a pair I would only need a "quantity" of 1?

I'm about the pull the trigger on these...

$135 is both together, and yes quantity of 1 is all you need.
