vented fenders from ebay??

i just dinged up my left passenger side fender and i bought a rusted out fender from a local junkyard for 20 bones. i was lookin online and i noticed some vented fenders are cheaper then oem fenders. so i was wondering if anyone has anything to say about vented fenders off ebay or any other fenders out there. thanks.

just remember with ebay, u get what u pay for. and if you dont get what was advertised, it may be a headache trying to get money back or replacement. especially if seller is overseas.

^ it depends on what you get,, if you read around etc there are good things to be had.. ebay is not bad. the uneducated buyer is.

^^ like airman jackson said there is some real legit stuff on ebay but dont expect to pay 30 bucks for fenders and expect them to be as good of quality as origins but if you want vented ones i would do ebay but your definitely goin to have to do some work to get them to fit right

a rule that i adopted when it comes to ebay is that if i can't find it anywhere other than ebay, then it's most likely junk.

yeah, just like they said, dont be an uneducated buyer. ebay really isnt all that bad, its the cheap products that you have to watch out for. make sure you get something with good quality. if you dont mind doing some work to get em on, the low cost fenders may be alright for you?

I think that ebay stuff, along with cheap aero/carbon is usually a hit or a miss. There are many, many mixed reviews and the fitment is either surprisingly good or expectedly bad. IMO, it's a risk not worth taking because. I'm going to agree with a couple others to hit up the junkyard to get a fender
