I'm not gonna argue with Cattivo, I think with replica you always taking chances, some getting more lucky then others, I had pretty good experiences with replica parts in the past and I thought to give it a go especially money difference was very big. I'm pretty happy with how my replica fits and looks, but at the end it's your choice.

Looks like I found it on eBay but actually bought it from their website, that way I was offered better discount at the time. I have to leave right now but I'll be back in few hours and will try to find that info for you, stay tuned!

I've written about 5 different sellers asking about doing a combo deal (to save shipping costs) on a front and rear. A few have replied and said yes (no prices mentioned yet though) and I think one even said something about leaving online reviews. Either way I'm going to write all of them back, link to this thread and see where it goes from there. |

OK, so you bought the AF style. Being theirs more carbon fiber, I can see how there's a chance for more fitment issues/gaps. Of all the sellers online, which did you use so we can avoid them and why didn't PayPal intervene?

Bought mine here....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/182028584594 For $600 shipped and a US seller. Fitment was ok...I had to use half a brain when installing it, not a big deal. Paid $800 less than the brand names and I feel pretty damn good about it.

Bump to see if anyone has bought more of these eBay ones, if quality has gotten better, etc? I just found a front one for $560 shipped.
