Why is it that euro cars don't have very much aftermarket support compared to JDM? Like body kits, suspension bits, interior parts, motor stuff. There's nothing compared to like Varis, Voltex, Spoon, Cusco, Garage Vary, etc. Even for the BMW M cars. Literally all the VW/Audi's all look the same. I understand they are all spec'd and designed really well straight from the manufacture too.

Nips really like to mod cars.

There's a reason most car mods are referred to as "rice" even when it's not of japanese make, and not driven by an asian.

>>16912041
It comes down to Japanese car culture. It’s generally more common to build and tune cars, and the amount of tuners and shops is what leads to having so many options. I wouldn’t exactly say BMW’s, VW’s, and Audi’s are spec’d well from the factory. At least not in terms of what aftermarket tuners do. Part of it has to do with the culture, amount of tuners, and the cost of some of these cars. People are a lot less likely to tear into an 70k M3.

wat

there are plenty of European tuner companies and parts manufacturers

only difference is Japanese cars are more popular

>>16912095
I'm gonna be honest

I've almost never heard of someone who did any mod to a german car (other than LS Swap Porsche), and I've never heard of someone mod a British or Italian car.

did you just learn about cars yesterday

Japanese have time to get tuner parts to "improve" their cars.
Eurocucks are too busy fixing and replacing broken OEM parts to try aftermarket parts.
>>
>>16912041
It's also illegal or prohibitively difficult to do any substantial modifications to your car in most of Europe

Damn kids.

>>16912758
they dont call you eurocucks for nothing
>>
>>16912782
I'm not a eurocuck. But they have to go through regulatory agencies to "approve" their mods, which requires tons of expensive tests. What a nanny state.
>>
>>16912844
yeah higher quality parts is a bad thing
>>
>>16912855
im conflicted.

I think its a great thing to have since youll never have to deal with faggots buying garbage replica parts but at the same time, you aren't free to buy whatever you want.
>>
IIRC Japanese companies made part specs open to whoever wanted to make parts for the aftermarket. This allowed for tons of OEM equivalent parts, and many companies to offer performance parts.

>>16912101
I have 2 friends working on cars right now. One had no problem finding a local shop to build up his Honda block. The other is working on an older Porsche and has the option of shipping his car to an expert for work or flying the expert in and finding shop space.

There are plenty of parts available for Euro cars. I think the biggest difference is that there are far fewer Chinese knockoffs and shitty parts available for Euro cars.

TUV is one reason, and people that buy BMW's are not so price conscious that they will bolt on a off brand piece of shit they found on eBay like someone in a Honda would.

OP sounds like an underageb& faggot. gb2 needforspeed

mods pls
>>
>>16912609
Ok relax what I meant was

People who want nice cars stock: Mustang/Camaro/Dodge amerifags

People who want cars to tune: Honda/Toyota/Subaru/Meeyata/Evo/Skyline JDMfags

People who want cars for badges: jaguar/Aston buyers

People who want cars that are fun: Fiat/Alfa/Ferrari buyers

People who want cars that are a mix of all: Porsche/BMW/Audi/Mercedes German car buyers.

I guess a few people want to mod their german cars. But not as many as JDM cuz usually people don't buy German project cars.

European cars are expensive to fix, so there's a strong incentive to avoid any mods that might cause problems elsewhere. Most modders will max out credit cards on reliability mods and run out of cash for performance mods. On the appearance end, most euro tuners prefer stancefag mods over ricey body kits.

Still with the right platform there is potential.
