CIC Parts Demonstration
CIC Toronto Meeting - July 2000
Prior to changing parts on the vehicle, the fit of the
original parts were rated.
Then the original parts were replaced
with off-the-shelf non-OEM and OEM parts.
Observers were unaware of the
type of part they were rating. They were rated 1 to 5, 5 being best.
Reviewers were also asked, yes or no, if the parts were acceptable to sell
to customers.
1997 Nissan Maxima
The non-OEM hood was a CAPA-certified part manufactured by Jui Li. The non-OEM bumper cover was NOT certified and was manufactured by TKY. The non-OEM headlamp was manufactured by TYC.
