OE, OEM and Genuine Parts Explained
×OE Or OEM
OE, shorthand for Original Equipment, parts are the same as what was originally installed on your car and what you'd buy at the dealership parts counter, but with the dealer logos removed by the manufacturer (they will be stamped with the OE's name and logo instead).
OEM, Original Equipment Manufacturer, parts are produced by a manufacturer that supplies OE parts to vehicle manufacturers. Because they are produced side-by-side with OE parts, OEM parts are held to strict quality standards and quality control.
Genuine Or Aftermarket
Genuine parts are sourced directly from the vehicle manufacturer and at a higher cost compared to OE and OEM parts. These are the same parts found on your vehicle, and what you'd buy at your dealership's parts counter.
Aftermarket parts are non-factory parts and accessories that are used to repair or maintain a vehicle. These parts may be produced by a manufacturer that supplies OE parts to a vehicle manufacturer, but not always. Aftermarket parts are not original to the car and are often built with affordability in mind. They may also be the only available option for discontinued Genuine parts.
After some testing, we've found that the "rock guards" from the VW Mk8 models also fit other Audi and VW MQB models. These aero pieces easily attach directly to your lower rear control arms with the included riv-nuts (for cars with smaller rock guards already installed, you can re-use the existing riv-nuts on the upper mounting locations of the new aero covers). Aside from protecting against rocks and debris, these aero covers reduce turbulent airflow at the rear of your vehicle. This means less road/wind noise, a more stable feeling across the rear axle, and a slight bump in fuel economy while highway cruising.
