Default OEM front lip on ebay?

Im looking for an OEM front lip for my 03 S, and came accross this one on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-03-HONDA...002708975QQrdZ1

Anyone have one of these on here? It's a lot cheaper than the Honda OEM lip, and seems to look good. Im worried about it not fitting properly.

Thanks.

I'd be wary of color matching and such.

It's not actually painted. I would have it painted at my local shop, which I trust can match close to perfect.

I assume it would fit alright? I just want to hear some testimonials to be sure

Color matching doesn't even work out so well with OEM stuff, so this would be no different. Most people who have purchased OEM lips and spoilers and side strakes have discovered that putting these on a "not new" car won't give a perfect match anyway.
Worry about the fit and finish and supplied hardware that you'll need to install it, not the color matching.

This is most likely why it's so cheap. All Honda add on body exterior parts come painted.

The one thing I would look at is it says oem "Style". I would be very concerned about fitment....

Dude I bought this lip and it fits perfect. Fitment is really tight. I'm in hawaii, and got it for $175 shipped, plus $150 for paint means I saved over $100 by not getting the real one.
