Default Accord Radiator - urgent

Hello guys,
I jusc recently spent a 1k$ to have my engine tuned up and now surprise - radiator is busted.

In my area for replacing radiator they charge from 70 to 120 $ - and now the part thing. I really don't have budget, but I need to do something. I found this on ebay, it's 100% cheaper than parts offered in my area, where prices start with 150$ up.

Question to you : is it a good part, or will take a crap in a while?

Thanks,

Can someone tell me what is the difference between plastic and metal tanks? The price was the same, and sale person was talking something about better performance in plastic tanks ??

I guess the plastic won't corrode as much as metal.

Why not go aftermarket and get like a Koyo rad? and are you referring to an overflow tank? I'd just go with plastic

Along the lines of this topic, has anybody had any issues with running the Civic half radiator in their Accord?

I got those radiator. The Koyo and seems to be pretty good. No leaks, nothing. Replacing them is pretty easy and straightforward.
