"Now I _always_ buy the OEM part. Some examples:" I thought I would provide another example as this was one of those things that always amused me. Back when my brother was alive, he was a Porsche enthusiast, he owned several at the same time (4) and his first love was his 944 that he raced. Anyway, the door handles on a 944 are the same as a standard VW part, with one slight difference. One has "PORSCHE" etched into the plastic while the other didn't. A luxury that increased the cost of the part by nearly 15 times. The funny thing was that with the 944 series, there were many non porsche parts used in the production of the car. The body was made by Audi (which we learnt one summer while stripping all of the noice cancelling rubber off the body... not a fun job)
