Default WS6 Hood input

I have been looking for a WS6 hood for a while now and have had no luck. I guess its time to go ahead and order one, trying to go with the OEM style. What is your guys opinion on where and whats the best place to order one?
What is up with the place on ebay that has them for $229?

I like my VFN fwiw. I waited until they had a group purchase. fitment is pretty good although I still have to adjust the gap between the headlight and the hood. I do have some rubbing on my slp lid, but dont really care.

I had a Harwood on my last TA and it was one of the best, and most OEM-looking hoods I have seen. VFNs are also nice as well.
