Ahhhhh I really want to give this a shot. Wish it was more around $200 than $300 USD. I don't know what aliexpress return policy is like. Anyone have any experience with returning items that are poor quality or this company selling this specifically?

I’ve returned stuff before. Their customer service is pretty good. Usually you have to pay return postage though.

I bought one from eBay. Fitment and quality is perfect.

I offered $255 and they accepted. Got it within 2 weeks.

It really does. I don't see any obvious differences, especially since they're not right next to each other. Great find!

Thanks for the heads-up! The price on the Autotecknic just made no sense to me...this was much more reasonable. Ordered the ebay one.

It was inevitable that the Chinese would come up with one sooner or later.

The others just made hay while the sun shone with their prices.

I also ordered. Looks like the seller will accept $250 as an offer FYI. Now we wait for someone to come shame us for putting cheap Chinese parts on an expensive car.

People might be shocked at how many of the OE parts on our cars are made in China.
