Those brackets are not repops. The guy goes to the scrap place when the CHP drop off their stuff. You can see how the first one is bent, most have chips, and you can see where the paint was chipped off from a bolt being screwed down.
Just checked the original-to-car bracket in my dads 06 Crown. It's the lay down, and is the same as the one on ebay.
And you have to beware, these brackets are all slightly different when it comes to the holes. I've tried multiple lay down brackets in my Mustang, none have lined up to the original holes. They'd just mock the bracket in the car, mark holes, and screw the bolts into the body.
