Curious about differances between aftermarket parts and OEM?

Ford did a nice little video showing some differences in critical safety related parts.

Aftermarket parts are not the same as OEM or used. They say they use the same molds but that is BS. I have seen too many bumper covers and fenders that could not be made to fit.

The parts have improved a lot in the last several years and the sheet metal fit has come a long way but the more complicated parts like headlamps and plastic bumpers still leave a lot to be desired.

Defiantly not made in the same molds.
