They could be, but then they might not be. Id be careful getting aftermarket parts from napa....they are good for small cheap fixes on stock oem parts because there computer tells them whats what. But other than that ive found that ive found them to be more expensive than other places. And the fuel delivery system isnt really a good place to skimp and go the cheap route. As shown by the 450cc and 500cc "mini cooper injectors" on ebay. The spray pattern out of the nozzle was horrible and uneven. Just my .02 though

I just want to point out that the NAPA parts are the same cost as 380s from most everywhere. Round about $400 for 4. But the rest of your post is valid.

Cheap doesnt always mean cost.....quality counts as cheap too in my book.

Many NAPA parts are OEM....but still, if the price is the same as OEM, why chance it?!

One of my best friends dad owned a NAPA and even he said to stay away from the parts. They claim OEM quality, and some parts I'm sure do match up to that claim. But others are a little bit sketchy....and like you said....why pay the price for the Bosch units if your going to get an off brand?
