Want Vortex Generator, but ebaY?

So ever since I got my CF hood I feel the need to tie the CF in the hood with other CF goodies so it doesn't stand out so much. Since I don't have aftermarket wheels, my first step I think (without looking rice-style or of poor taste) I want to get a Vortex Generator.

All the CF one's I can find are just too expensive- and my wife and I just bought a house so that's not possible. I dare to say the word ebay- because I've heard some HORROR story's on VG's from ebay, but I've also seen a few that weren't bad at all.

Here's a pic of my car.



Any advice?

I was going to say Rexspeed.net also...they are not CF though...but I wouldn't get CF VG if I were you...I did and it didn't not fit right at all...it was Seibon and now I can't use it...300 dollars later. Rexspeed said theirs will fit a GSR perfectly and CF VGs are hard to make and have fit properly anyhow

I recommend RexSpeed it's only $100 for one thats already painted Apex Silver. I have that VG and its great, easy to install, secure fit, plenty of tape, looks excellent.

That's what I'm thinking, but since I want to tie in the color of the hood I'll go black and not silver, but OEM black or tarmac black?

I bought mine off ebay too!!! Fit like OEM!!! Not one single problem and I paid less than 50 shipped to my door.. Than had it painted TB instead of the raw abs plastic material.. Not bashing rexspeed.. But mine fits great! Sorry for such a bad pic far away but it fits great!
