Good value for money, time will tell the quality

I had a 2014 Honda Accord Sport 2.4L CVT 99k that was starting to have starting problems. The relay clicks and you have to turn the key quickly for it to work. As a result, he got to the point where he scrolled without fire for 10 minutes. I looked around and found it cheaper than OEM and the reviews were good. As soon as it arrived I took it to my local auto parts store to have it checked before ripping out the bad one. Passed the test and installed some swear words and some bloody sweat and tears. The strap tongue was slightly bent during shipping. It snapped into place with no problems. Saved at least $500 compared to buying in store. It starts out a little rougher than what came out, but there's no intermediate start. Time will tell if this was a good deal compared to the OEM. I'll update if it doesn't work, I pray for my big hands another 100,000 pass. It took about 3 hours, 60% of which was aligning the new starter and the bolts worked. A bolt in the back is a nightmare. It was helpful to tape it to the starter as other reviews suggested, but if you have big hands you'll be in for a lot of frustration. The videos were helpful, I suggest watching a few before tackling this.
