There is a reaon it's cheaper - usually more inferior made products. Made in China with lead and formaldehyde. So for $60 more you can have peace of mind knowing your parts are OEM or fork out $90 and pray that next week your engine doesn't seize with those $90 parts you put on your car from Ebay and then having to fork out $500-1000 for a new engine where you could have spent the extra $60.

I purchased some ebay corners for my 93 Civic Si and you can tell the quality difference between the Ebay ones and stock or even a reputable store one. The plastic is thinner, and more hollow sounding.
