Default Ebay front lip spoliers

Has anyone here bought one of those Ebay Bayson lip spoilers for a hundy?
Mine got wrecked today when a curb ran out in front of me.
I called Porsche today and they will do me a deal at $470NZ (340US) but it's OEM.
Then I read that the fitting can be a pain to fit.

Just thought I'd ask for any advise.

Thanks

I've gone through a couple of the cheap aero eBay ones. They're best when painted, I used satin black on mine and fitted well with 30 mins of minor trimming. Looked great. The worst part is that the shipping to NZ is horrendous and the sellers won't ship more than one in a box. Ended up using www.shipito.com and consolidated 7 different lips (964, 996, 997) and sent together to share costs between a few people.

Not really, but if you're getting some I'll grab one just in case.

For 100 bucks, they're not bad.
The finish out of the box is "ok", but mine required slight sanding and a few coats of plati-dip to make presentable.

While one side lines up completely flush with the wheel opening, the opposite side is short by about 1/8". I'm the only one who probably notices it, but you can't beat the price.

This is what makes me just want to buy OEM and be done with it.
