What are Cosmetic Parts?
It’s easy to assume cosmetic parts are parts that add to the look of your vehicle. They can also easily be confused with cosmetic damage, such as dents, scratches, or dings.
A cosmetic part, also known as a crash part, is any part on your vehicle that is attached with some type of fastener such as a screw or bolt. These parts are easier to replace since they don’t require the use of cutting or welding to be removed. This can include your bumper, windshield, hood, and more.
Do I Need to Use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Parts for a Replacement?
We know it can be tempting to try to save a little and use aftermarket parts when you need a cosmetic part replacement. After all, many cosmetic parts are considered irrelevant to a vehicle’s safety, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) since they aren’t structural.
When it comes down to it, it depends on how the part is attached to the vehicle’s body. However, there are a multitude of perks to utilizing OEM parts for your vehicle:
- They have superior quality so they can last longer.
- You can be confident that the parts you order are the appropriate size and shape for your vehicle.
- You won’t compromise the integrity of your vehicle.
- They include warranty coverage.
