| OEM TAKE-OFF |
Body parts made by or for the original vehicle manufacturer,
which were "taken off" at the factory due to a quality
imperfection or never installed due to excess inventory. Like
"Factory Seconds" or "Blems" you might find
in an outlet mall clothing store, these parts are almost "good
as new" but may not be perfect (these parts are typically
offered for applications for which no aftermarket parts exist). |
