I bought one from them years ago. I suspect that there is just one place making 
these. The one I got from JCW had a very minor flaw in it, so I suspect that's  
why JCW had them for cheaper (they were seconds.) Many years ago they 
advertized early AND late styles, but by the time I bought mine it was a one 
style fits all, which happened to be a late version.

The fit was not bad, but you could tell that the mold had been made from an old 
OE part, which had shrunk, so this part starts out undersized and will surely 
shrink with time.

Mine was not bad, but it is not an ideal replacement. At this point in time 
there is probably no such thing out there.
