The fact that your modifications are strictly controlled DOES cause a market demand, that drives innovation and high quality in the aftermarket parts industry. Especially when it comes to engine modifications where they must be emissions-compliant. We have a lot of these hard regulations to thank for the availability of good quality aftermarket parts (compared to say, the 1950's and 60's.)
- Sebb767 6y agoThis, however, comes with the drawback of a quite high price. And there are quite a few things you can do in the US which you may not do in Germany, for example under car lightning, additional front lighting (think the illuminated Mercedes logos), anything that negatively impacts the emission profile much and - my personal pain point - large wing spoilers. I can see the reason for most of these - if you're allowed to go 300km/h in that car, it should definitely be in a good condition -, but it's not without drawbacks.
