Yeah - it's weird. They are essentially the same part as the 2018 tS bars, only silver where the tS ones are black, IIRC.
My only guess is the 2018 tS ones are priced higher because they're what shops would be ordering as replacements when repairing accident damage on a North American market tS?

Exactly.
