chefwong is on a distinguished road
Got some spare parts WITH melted engravings....

These were *OEM equivalents* from one of the more popular parts sites.
Nothing special but these were just replacement sidemarker lights.

I recall reading about this, but on various area the part, they have taken a hot iron and just scribbled so that the plastic would not make the model/engravings legiable..
I can't fathom the time/cost in labor just to even do this to every piece that get's sold/shipped...

What's up with that...Anyone care to refresh my memory.

On a side note, I have ordered a *haul* of parts from a BMW dealer/parts supplier. It was dirt cheap...maybe too good to be true cheap. Parts have not shipped so at this point, I'm assuming they are just amassing parts from various sources. I'll give them 1 more week which would make it 14 days for them to ship.....or else I will cancel the order. I'm expecting OEM parts as OEM parts #'s were speced.
