I buy aftermarket a lot, but I do try to support the dealer if pricing is close, which surprisingly some things are. More often than not, the aftermarket items are from the very same supplier as the "OEM" items. The aftermarket stuff is priced better because it doesn't go through all the marketing and branding BS before it gets to a dealer's shelf. I am glad for that.
