Perfect fit and finish, feels very sturdy at the directional vents.

Plastic is of high quality

Doubt the OEM has higher quality.




Going back to my pdc issue I was able to fix the problem, it was caused by two things:

1. Ebay pdc sensors do not work on these cars.
2. one of the ground cables I used to power the front radiator shutter was causing a open loop condition or open ground.

once those two where fixed and codes cleared with ISTA, PDC came back to live in the front and back.


OEM pdc (brown) and chinese (black)



Since the FRM is so damn sensitive on these cars and water damage equals burned out head light modules as well as frm and possibly JBE. (2,000USD in used price modules)
Dabbed all the connectors in the front of the car with dielectric grease.





Then got some 100% silicone and hit the back of the electric connectors.
