The auction says OEM style and not straight OEM, I would pass.

It's not factory and may not meet factory specs. It is inexpensive, I suppose worse case scenario is that it will cost $100 to find out if it's worth a darn. Shipping costs are $45 each way plus time lost.

That place is near my office. I called them a few months ago. Like the others have said, the part you're looking it aftermarket and not OEM. However, this seller also has OEM parts and they're not that much more money (maybe an additional $20 or so). I would give them a call and ask if they have any OEM in stock.

i'm with everyone on this one, unless you can go there in person and actually test fit it on your car before buying it, I would pass,unless you own a civic.
