An aftermarket accessory is optional extra equipment that can be added to a car. These can include things like alloy wheels, body kits, and spoilers. They are usually fitted by specialist companies or garages and can often improve the look of a car. Some aftermarket accessories can also improve a car’s performance, although this often depends on engine size and tuning factors. Aftermarket accessories can be expensive, so it’s essential to research them before you buy. You should also ensure that they are compatible with your car and are fitted correctly.
