Default Lower fairings, which brand?

I'm looking to get a set of lower fairings with speaker pods. My bike is Vivid black so it's easy to order a set of mutazu or fairing factory lower prepainted. My question is which are better? Fair factory sell for about an extra $100 is there a good reason for the price increase? Chime in if you have either brand and let me know how the quality is and if the paint is up to par.

I have the mutazu lower fairings with the cnc quick release and the quality is fine for the price. I used them for a few months thinking I'd use them when its cold. I have a Vivid Black RK and they match great but I'm not sure they are painted. The color may be in the plastic itself but I can;t be sure. There's no instructions with them and kind of a pia to put on. The clamps are a little big (maybe I didn't have them on right?) but I used some discreet duct tape in between the clamps and the crash bar attachment to tighten the fit.

Installed the Mutazu vivid black lowers a year and a half ago. Went with all Harley hardware. Purchased through eBay seller tmshelmet and paid about $138.00 shipped. Have held up well and finish still looks good.

I bought these (see link) on Amazon for a crazy low price. Thought for sure they would be cheap POS's. In some ways they are. The plastic is thinner than OEM, the glove box covers are not as good, and the vent doors do not operate smoothly. But they look just fine and the paint is nearly as good as OEM. $15.00 in hardware and your done for a little more than $100.00.
I don't know who makes them, but I don't care. No buyers remorse here.
