It's fake. Only way to get OEM, is to buy OEM from the dealership.

It's not "fake", it's aftermarket. Legitimate and cheap, but low quality.

I checked out Andy's Auto Sport's website, and nowhere do they claim to be selling true OE parts. Andy's is your typical aftermarket parts house, with typical aftermarket lousy quality. And typical aftermarket enticingly-low prices.

If you want true OE but don't want to buy new, visit a wrecking yard. Or as they're known these days, "auto recycler". Or you can check out these guys: http://www.car-part.com. They're a consortium of auto wreckers that sells used OE parts from all across North America.

I did a quick Google regarding Andy's, and I found this page. Aftermarket retailers operate on low margins, have a high rate of returns, and can therefore be difficult to deal with. Beware!

I've actually bought stuff from andy's auto sport before. I've bought two clutch kits from there from spec, which worked out very well for me. I bought side corner lights for my civic and they were good til I got hit on the side . It all depends on what you buy. I wouldn't buy no fast and the furious body kits or stuff like that from there (if thats your style). Just do your research on pricing.

look for par outs and ****, We have a Facebook for the "greater Toronto area" aka the GTA has over 11,500 members!. Someone always has what you need that's not counting JDMR a local Canada forum or kijiji a buy and sell site.



Cliffs: if you've seen their YouTube channel you'd know its borderline ricer stuff...

Everything i ever tried to buy from andys, was on back order. So I always ended up canceling my order, even when they say its in stock.

Then you get the email telling you its not. It really grinds my gears.
