HAHA, I just looked and I can see no noticeable difference between the two. I never understand why people waste money on a recent style car for OEM parts that are 3 or 4 times more expensive than aftermarket. But, to each his own, right? > So can I...this is OEM. > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > > > > Thanks. > OEM?? HAHA, I just looked and I can see no noticeable difference between the > two.

If you're buying OEM then you KNOW it's going to fit, and will probably last a LOT longer. As I said, you don't do this often, do you? I do, and every day. Yeah, I buy a LOT from Certi-fit. And I return a lot, too. And as far as price? LHS taillight. IF Certi-fit had HAD it, it would have been $69. Gee, I got it brand new from Chrysler for.....uh...$69! Imagine that. And the front turn signal Didn't...Quite...Fit...was that a snap I heard? But it WAS $20 cheaper. >> So can I...this is OEM. >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> > > >> > > Thanks. > > OEM??

Just so happened I bought the RHS taillight for my GC from them and it was 34.95 I believe. Maybe OKC is a bit cheaper? As for not doing this much, depends. More than most people on my street? Or more than you? Doubtful more than you, but I have been through about 8 cars with them in half as many years and I have only had one problem. That was a front bumper cover for a 88 Mustang LX. One of the holes was off. On the other hand, I bought an OEM fender from Ford for the same LX and had to put the holes in to actually attach it to the frame and structure. Even the spot where the rubber plug goes in for the hood to rest on had to be cut in. I bought the right fender from Cert and it had everything but the rubber plug hole. I am not knocking OEM, believe me. I just believe that going the cheaper route is better when the part is of the same or at least incredibly close quality. Don Manning > And as far as price?

Ya know, I don't have a LOT of heartburn with Certi-Fit, we use them all the time. There are TWO items I don't like to see coming from them or Veng: The bumper covers, as you mentioned, and Chrome plated bumpers found on a lot of the trucks. As you mentioned, we have a LOT of trouble with the bumper covers, BUT, a friend of mine needed one for a '92 Merc Marquis; he was impatient and bought it from Ford for $389!!! A Certifit unit was $49.99!!! Both needed painting, but I'll save $340 any day!!! They are a bitch, though. As you say, holes are often not where they should be, no hardware (so you'd better have it all), and sometimes it takes a LOT to get the paint to take! We had one we had to strip 3 times before it looked good. And the Chrome bumpers. If we have a truck that needs a bumper, we'd better sell it FAST, because they will begin to rust if we don't sell tham in 6-8 months (it DOES happen occasionally). They fit well, but just aren't made as well as OEM. I'd rather go junkyard diving! We also bought a Ford P/U bedside for the boss' 'vintage' 1978. (it's a pulling truck...). Damn gas door was in the totally WRONG place. So, be careful with aftermarket. All in all, I personally have had very few problems, but professionally we probably return 1/3 of what we buy aftermarket. John >> And as far as price? LHS taillight.
