As is the case w/ most auto makers and their tuning parts, you pay for a name and "ease of upgrade". For the rest of us, it will be labeled as "overpriced" and "not worth it", but you need to educate yourself on what makes it "overpriced".
Overpriced factory performance upgrades usually pass OEM quality inspection and testing. Many aftermarket parts don't give two shits about these things.

That's my draw to the factory stuff. I like keeping the warranty full intact, and since I don't plan on modding the car to any great extent, it seems like a nice simple upgrade.
My main concern was not knowing how the TRD parts are now, as far as quality- the TRD parts for my MR2 are great and, even though they were not cheap, I thought they were very well worth it.
