I am Texan! Nough said. I am mostly a purchaser, but occasionally do sell some items. I always strive for great feedback on any sells and am honest and fair on any purchase feedback.
I tried some aftermarket trunk lid struts. Let’s just say they almost broke my back window. They were terrible. They had high ratings but it was a bunch of BS. Everybody said they work so great, but they didn’t. I decided to dish out the extra cash to get the OEM ones and boom! They worked perfectly. You can always save a couple bucks here or they’re on aftermarket, But ask yourself if it’s worth having to buy The hardware again in OEM. Buy OEM the first time and don’t worry about it.
