i tend to agree with you.it's the price that really put off some people from buying original spare parts.
but to pass "local" products as original products, well, that is fraud to me.
malaysian's imitation skill is wayyyy much more better than 10 years back.last time u can spot "local" stuff almost instantly, these days you have to examine very carefully then.the sticker, emblem, marking, etc etc all resembles real close to the original one.worst still, recondition stuff like abs, springs, mountings etc etc.
if you really want the original parts, try to buy them from big supplier like in jln ipoh.
just my 2 cents
