need your guys opinion
so ive been looking for a tail fairing for an 01-03. i have found 2 on ebay so heres where i need your help. I have one that is selling for 120 but its only a street replica and its not painted but then i found one that is painted (the color of my bike)and is a factory oem part is perfect shape and the guy is selling it for 200 but 50 for shipping so basically 250 for the part. ok so....$120 for replica part not painted? or $250 for oem part painted?

Well...hell. I bought an oem right fairing and the thing went on smooth, and the color matched, and it was EXPENSIVE!!! Now, I've neard there are fittment issues with some of these aftermarket plastics, also, you will either have to have it painted, or paint it yourself to match. If you go with the colorrite paint, that is expensive, too. Plug in a little frustration time, plus what you can get paint for and see if that is worth $130 to you. I can't paint, and the last guy that painted my front fairing mismatched it by about ten shades. Personally, I would buy the oem plastic.

yea man i was sorta thinking the same thing but i means its just the tail fairing i dont really see how it could have many fitting issues. on the other hand is the yellow from a 2002 f4i the same as the yellow from an 06? cause i would be pissed if i pay 250 for it and it doesnt even match. i also know several painters so paying 120 for the replica fairing and getting a inexpensice paint job from a friend of a friend. still need more input help a fellow F4ier out!!
