I bought a set of the URO parts from Pelican because of cost. The color match was good, but they didn't fit. There was extra flashing at the mold line of the two halves keeping it from snapping in place. I ended up swapping them for the more expensive OEM parts. I didn't like having to spend that much for trim pieces, but at least the OEM parts fit.

I searched high and low for cheaper alternatives, but I gave up. Just be wary if they are URO parts.

I replaced my trunk shocks the other day. I had replaced them 5 years ago and they were already worthless. The manufacturer was URO. Stay away from them, just sayin…
