Perhaps no other human invention is subject to so many alterations and customization as vehicles. Every car was a customized car once. Those were the days of elegant, classic cars. During the first decade of the twentieth century, those who could afford cars had a choice of some of the finest cars ever built. These hand-built cars were powerful and luxurious, using the finest woods, leathers and cloths, and many embellishments.
The era of custom-built cars ended with the introduction of mass production cars starting with Ford Model T. Instead of luxury, usefulness dictates the automobile industry of today.These days, except for a few very high-end cars, manufacturers do not entertain requests for customization. However, not everything is lost.One can still revamp his or her car with hundreds ofaftermarket car parts. Let us understand what aftermarket parts are.
To begin with, it should be clear that aftermarket car parts are not essential for the car's everyday running. Nor are aftermarket parts available as standard accessories from car dealers. These are available at manufacturers or suppliers of ancillary spare parts.
Decking up your car to suit your tastes is entirely an individual choice. This is accomplished is by addition of aftermarket car parts to the vehicles or by replacing the already existing parts with aftermarket car parts. Aftermarket parts serve three purposes: some parts are only for boosting performance, some for changing the look and feel of the vehicle, and some for increasing the vehicle's efficiency.
