Aftermarket parts are not made by the manufacturer of your automobile. Your insurance policy may require that aftermarket parts be used in your repair. Your ICON representative will present you with the option of paying the difference between the aftermarket and factory parts. There are several options for you on this matter when shopping for insurance. Some insurance companies do not allow the use of aftermarket parts and some companies also offer an upgraded policy that will allow for factory parts. Most customers do not know what their policy allows for until they file a claim.
Insurance policies are NOT equal. Be aware of this when shopping for insurance. Ask about OEM parts when shopping for your next insurance policy.
