Would you get eBay painted bumperettes for $100?

I know that Eric at Bumperplugs has the highest quality painted bumperettes, but would anyone try (or has anyone tried) these off of eBay for $100? (I have no affiliation with the seller, I'm just a potential buyer):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=140041440314

I'm thinking of getting my bumperettes painted, and I'm thinking that for $100, if they start going bad in a year, I haven't lost that much. Any opinions?

$225 for shipping and give up your cores seems high to me...IMHO.

I popped mine off and the local body shop prepped and painted them for $65.00

They may have already had the paint since they repainted my front aero spoiler for me when I first got the car.

My local shop wanted 35 dollars "IF" I was doing something else at regular....so I plan to wait for some issue like a GT-2 bumper showing up and going for it....for now, I sort of like the black.....

BumperPlugs price is steep but if you go that route I can tell you they are perfect. Eric did two sets for me a few months back and I was very pleased.
