Default ebay flares any good?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:en

what do you guys think? they even offer to paint for 150 so that would be 300 for a painted set of flares. I think i'll let my trusted paint guy do that though. do you guys think its worth it? or pay double for the legit sets on stylin.

Those actually look somewhat legitimate, they dont look all that bad. And they do say that they have a 3 year warranty...

I ordered the same ones about a week ago. They're sitting in the back of my truck waiting for paint. They're pretty heavy, not as thin and flimsy as I thought they would be. Seller said they are supposed to be 4" tall and 2" wide. I'm gonna guess they're closer to 1 1/2"-1 3/4" installed but not sure till I get them installed.

Edit: Just went out and mocked up the RR flare. Body lines seem to match up pretty good and the flare measures 1 3/4" - 1 7/8". You should have no problem pulling it out to 2" before securing it if you need to.

I have had these and loved them, wish I never sold them.

Eventually I want to buy a set again.

I didn't have the smooth ones, I had the textured ones. And they were sweet.
