OEM. It took me 18 months to finally find mine in 2005/06 at a price I was willing to pay. I paid around $300 shipped for a new set when they were selling on eBay for $800.
Screw Honda, I paid $120 shipped for a brand new oem e30 M3 sideskirt last summer. Still looking for the other side though, lol!

Option A
if you get the replica, its fiberglass easily breakable! if you chip the replica you will end up buying another one and repainting it. i had an issue once when i tried to buy a replica but it didnt end up being flush on my car. waste of time
Option B
if your already going to be painting your car ill go with the OEM if you get the replica your still going to end up painting it already so dont cheap out and get the OEM

OEM usually fits correctly. Replica usually needs extra work. Extra work will cost extra money if you are paying to have it done. OEM wins.
