Hi Everyone,
After tons and tons of research, ordering and test fitting, and etc.
I’ve been debating on opening my own aftermarket parts company. I’ve gotten in touch with suppliers of bigger companies such as Vrsf and Burger Tuning. The truth is that these guys are making too much in profits off of all of us enthusiasts. Before people start bashing me - yes I know, that’s how business works.
Nonetheless I would like to begin offering products such as the infamous 7.5 inch intercooler, oil catch can, intakes, and turbo inlets to start off. My items would be the same quality as the big guys are selling. Just at fraction of the price.
Nothing personal against the bigger companies but I feel that it’s unethical to be selling intercoolers for $500-700 when at cost they are costing somewhere in the low $200’s range.
Customizing cars is a hobby and these aftermarket parts should NOT be costing more than your monthly estimated car payment.
Moving forward.
My question(s) for everyone would be :
Would you guys be interested in lower prices and the same exact product minus the Logos and Branding?
Is there still a market for these items? Or has everyone bought in and the craze for these aftermarket parts has simmered down?
This would be my first N54 platform based business so I’m honestly trying to weigh in on the feasibility. Please keep the bashing to a minimum as I know ya’ll can get mean on these forums
