The ebay strip appears to likely be technically incorrect compared to the original strip used on the OP's car. The lip is likely wider/larger compared to the original design and the strip has the hollow triangular "support tube" running through it instead of the string running through the original style strip.
Despite the ebay description stating something about a "first design" I think it is not a exact duplicate of the original style trunk w/strip.
In fact, if it has a wider/larger lip you might get "dinged" for that at MCACN judging (originality deduction).
I think the "correct" NOS original strips may occasionally show up out there but as expected they're extremely rare IMO.
So...the OP might want to ask for a FOCUSED PIC from the ebay seller showing the profile/end of the strip. Might provide a better idea of the lip size/height/width as it's hard to tell 100% from that crappy picture.
