Message	When I pay OEM prices for something portrayed as OEM, I expect OEM parts. When I buy aftermarket, I ask who the manufacturer is, i.e. MOPAR, MOOG, etc. I want to know if I'm getting JEGS or NISMO. It's similar to shopping for a mattress~ PITA and intentionally done to artificially inflate prices. -___________________________________________________________-
