Got one for my girlfriend's Cherokee on ebay, and yeah, it was dirt cheap, fit well, and looked great.
At first.
But it didn't even last a year and it was rusting through the chrome. Unfortunately, you often do just get what you pay for.
Just my experience...

shipping would kill ya.......
if you live near any major city, there are at least a couple of aftermarket parts dealers... look for a keystone near by, and go pick it up.
ask for capa certified, or platinum plus (keystone's house brand)....... the chrome will still have grinder marks showing through, but hell, its roughly half the price of new oem. but as was said.............................. you DO get what ya pay for!

Try car-part.com they have a national registry for vehicles and salvage yards. They usually have just about everything somewhere.
