The ebay one is definitely better since Honda knows squat about cars.

dude, you guys.

The difference....from what i have seen, ebay replica has sort of a metallic ITR emblem instead of a clear plastic sticker on OEM ones. Try to buy used ones. New ones are well-sought after and not cheap (over 200). I got mine used for 75+shipping, should be kinda what you are expecting to pay.

I had a fake ebay one on my last car and it came with a sticker and not a badge, it was as heavy as a genuine one and looked more or less identical, it was even made of sectioned/boxed aluminium. IMO it done exactly the same job as an original at a quarter the price and i'd buy one again rather than pay stupid money for a genuine one.

The socket head cap screws and nuts on the ebay one will develop surface rust. That's the only bad thing that I've seen. Fitment is just fine.
