status. OEM isn't infallible, nor are all aftermarket products ricey. On the one hand, I've seen some ridiculously looking Carollas, etc roll off the factory floor with their so-called "sport packages;" on the other hand, many here would consider some of the TwinZ products designed in good taste.
Saying that it's not rice because it's OEM is the same kind of blind, mob mentality that brought us Hitler's Third Reich and 2 terms of Obama.
