Default It has always been one of my favorites, front and rear.......>

I believe the one on ebay is not the real thing and is made of fiberglass which most guys try to steer clear of, because of cracking. Here is a link for the real thing. I think, but am not sure that you need an FMIC to make it fit.<ul><li><a href="http://estrictlyforeign.com/asp/product.asp?category=1&amp;ID=424">http://estrictlyforeign.com/asp/product.asp?category=1&amp;ID=424</a</li></ul>

Default The real one is Fiberglass too....>

And the fit is pretty crummy. If the Ebay item is a Knock-off, you can bet the fit would be even worse...

Default if you work with fiberglass, and think you can make it work>>>

than do it! everyone told me not to buy a fiberglass kit for my old gti, but I love fiberglass, I like it even better than that ABS stuff that the new kits are made out of, it's just so much easier to work with. The kit for the GTI looked great, fit better than any kit i had ever seen, and I really had no problem with it, the new ways of fiberglass is alot stronger than it was before and sometimes even semi-flexible. If you like it and are carefull, then do it.i think its well worth it, if you can work on it yourself.
