Ebay "R" model front lips.....anyone tried them?

Hard to believe I'm the first one to wonder, but I searched using different terms and didn't have any luck.
The OEM replacement supply seems to be drying up and I'm wondering about these http://www.ebay.com/itm/360751412687?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITThe picture makes me a nervous, since it appears to be of an OEM two-piece lip. I sent a question in to the vendor asking for pictures of HIS lip installed on a FD and never got a reply. But they're relatively cheap and it would be nice to see someone producing a decent reproduction. Anyone bought one yet?

Awesome. Pics would be great. And thanks.
In addition to fitment, how's the over-all texture and color of the plastic? Seems like a pretty simple piece of plastic, but worried a little about stiffness compared to OEM...that it would be paper-thin and flop in the wind.
Since posting I've noticed several other Ebay vendors have them. I assume they're all from the same Chinese knock-off source, but do you recall who you got yours from?

I bought a lip for a gtr from the same seller and it seems very well made and great fitment. Well this doesn't mean that this particular one is good (or not) and the seller seems to be ok
