Default Mud flap question

Was looking at installing some mud flaps as we often hit the mountains in the winter which makes a mess of the car. Anyway was not too excited to pay over $100 for a set of OEM, does anyone have a good experience with any of the aftermarket versions they sell on Ebay? Some look much to big in the photos while a few others look nearly the same size as OEM. Just want to make sure the fit along the body line and cladding is tight with no gaps.

I can't recall reading anything too negative about the fit, but that there are no fastening tabs like on the OE flaps, so you are left to your own devices to attach them. Check Chinese Aftermarket CX-5 Mud Flaps for more info.

Here's an inexpensive alternative. I run these on my 3 HB (see picture) and though they are sold as 'universal,' they look and fit a lot like they were made for the car. I did do some trimming though to make them more inconspicuous:
