Important Fitment Notes: 
  • LEFT = Drivers Side,   RIGHT = Passenger side
  • All parts are sold individually unless noted as a Set or a Kit
Brands:

OEM

When you see a part branded as OEM or with the OEM tag listed next to the manufacturer, this means that the part has been inspected by us, and when compared to the original dealer's parts, we confirm they are exactly the same manufacturer.

OEM refers to the company that originally manufactured the product for the car manufacturer.  Each part number that show a red "OEM" means that we have verified that for this specific part number this specific manufacturer is/was the original manufacturer for the original dealer part.

An automobile part may carry the designation OEM if it is made by the same manufacturer and is the original part used when building and selling the product.  These products can typically be acquired at significant savings by bypassing the dealership and going straight to the manufacturer.

The OEM notation our our website indicates that this is the exact same product as would be acquired through a dealership, but in the manufacturers box ( or plain box ) as opposed to the Dealer branded box.

One important note, when we label the manufacturer as OEM, this is NOT some generic name for a company, (as many of our competitors show), but rather the actual Original Equipment Manufacturer.   We painstakingly go through each individual part, and compare it to one ordered directly from the Dealer.

Many times parts are labeled with this non descript OEM brand (and in some cases, the manufacturer will remove some of the logo/part number from the part when the part is sold not directly to the car manufacturer.)  Due to contracts with the auto manufacturer, they are not allowed to show a Manufacturer logo or part number unless the part is sold by that car maker directly trough one of their authorized dealers.

We can assure you that we only acquire parts from reputable distributors & manufacturers.  Our reputation is very important to us, and is worth more than the couple bucks we may save by mis-representing our parts.

GENUINE



Any part listed as GENUINE (BMW,Porsche etc) is exactly the same part as sold by an authorized dealership. It means that the part you will receive is the exact same as if you would go to your local dealership and buy it there.   We actually acquire these parts directly from a Dealer, and pass our savings on to you.

AFTERMARKET



All other brands of parts, outside of OEM and Genuine are considered aftermarket parts.  These manufacturers will vary widely.  Many are OEM manufacturers, but possibly were not THE OEM manufacturer for that particular vehicle.  They are quality part, built by a quality manufacturer.  We have 300+ different manufacturers we support so the list is too large to go through here.  Please contact us for additional insight into are particular brand of part.
