Have you ever bought a car stereo? Those numbers sound completely reasonable in comparison to third-party vehicle mods. It doesn’t sound at all like they’re nickle-and-diming people.

Perhaps a better comparison is that the mainstream automakers are forcing vast feature bundles on everyone. You aren’t given the choice to buy a paired-down automobile. It simply has to come with a spyware infotainment system glued into the dashboard.

Honestly, it would be a lot better if vehicles came in fairly and cheap forms. Then you can take them to any third party mechanic to add whatever additional upgrades you want.
