I honestly think that is a hit or miss with those two...most ebay replica lips tend to be a hit or miss...more than likely you will need to have the body shop or yourself do some adjusting to get it to fit... get the cheaper one and you can have the body shop mold it with the money you saved...

i would wait a little longer and buy oem. in my opinion, its not worth dealing with fitment issues and paying extra for painting on a replica only to save a few bucks. with the oem lip it fits like a glove, already comes painted, and u will not regret it. thats just my opinion tho, i had a replica lip on my old em1 and i did not like dealing with fitment issues.

just wait and get an oem one...what is the most that you are willing to spend on it? do you want it to match your car color already or do you not mind painting it?
