The problem with car parts is you will probably need to have to have
engineering data to determine if it is the same. Often you can't tell
by looking. In any case, because of traceability, it's illegal and
your insurance payment may go away after an accident, whether that
part caused it or not. If you have un-approved parts installed the
aircraft is classified as un-airworthy in the eyes of the FAA and the
insurance industry.

The next thing that will happen is the person who installed it gets
their ticket pulled etc. Probably not worth saving a few bucks.
