I agry with you that OEM quality is usually the best way to go.

But in this case, It's a rubber grommet. What about the OEM rubber grommet makes it better than a generic one?

Regarding "nothing good to say" This is a forum for discussion. Express views, be it positive or negative. Give tips and tricks, and whatever.
So long as I'm not telling you to **** off, then the discussion is healthy.

Paying fifteen times more for a grommet seems stupid to me. Unless you can prove some superiority the OEM grommet has over the generic one, my view still stands.

You can take the grommet from ur engine bay, its located on the left of the battery. Or go wreckers and get it for free.. if your on a budget.
