Beyond price, how much difference is there between the OEM M5 side skirts and the replica versions out there? Do the reps look cheap? Do they fit ok?

Also, is the shipping on these normally over $100 to NY? Got a shipping quote on OEM ones of $125. seems crazy to me as I've shipped 4 tires and wheels cross country before for $60.

If you want a 100% fit get OEM. THe reps are a few mm short up front, barely noticable and can be covered up with mud flaps if you really like. Give Trinity a shout if you want the reps they are only $199 new! Heres some pics of my reps that I had pre painted by Trinity, turned out awesome

Get replica from Trinity. Perfect fit and just as good as OEM. Only thing I'd suggest OEM is M5 front bumper if you're after a perfect look with no fog light inserts, etc.

Get the reps from Trinity, you can;t go wrong and you'll be happy 
Mine have perfect fitment and they are great to deal with, unlike some others
