As far as "east-european counterfeit crap"....there is no such think. Hungary Romania, Bulgaria, former republics derived from Yugoslavia, Czech republic and Slovakia, they can be proud of their craftsmanship. They are all big producers of OEM part and assemblies for Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Land Rover and a lot more.
Don't make the horrible mistake to compare them with China India or Mexico.
On top of all there are no "pirating" companies out there.
For example automobile brand Skoda is over a century old comparing to the ones in south Asia that are around 20-30 years. Have you ever bought an Easter European product lately so you can make an justified explanation?

As far as Phill, great, knowledgeable, pleasant and fast ...I spend thousands of dollars on Fast Lane ... ask Phill about Radu.
They have what you want. If you want OEM they got it ....if you need after market they got it too... Is your decision.
Only downside is that the prices are a bit higher than other sites but I can live with, taking in consideration the great advice you get on this site.
