I've always found interchangeable parts an interesting topic. I'm guessing with 4th gens and above it's possible that a lot of parts interchange with non Chevy cars?

Thought this was a great example. Lambo headlights are the same as Nissan 300zx. What's crazy is how the price for the Lambo ones are $1,000 and the Nissan are $180, making it a +5x markup. Crazy.

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

Brand new garret turbo for a c220 Mercedes in a Mercedes labeled box is around £2000, same part without the Mercedes box is about half that price
