Do you recall ever seeing a flashy, tricked out Honda Civic careen by you on the road, with spinning rims, lit up windshield wipers and tons of other aftermarket car parts? It is no secret, aftermarket car parts have been very popular ever since the late 1960's, when people first began to seriously start tricking out their cars. These days it is very common to see a car decked out with aftermarket car parts of all sorts. Some people like to add a wing, others want a customized interior, and even more want a nice set of flashy rims.

But what many people do not know is that by adding many of these aftermarket car parts to your new ride, you are essentially voiding the manufacturer's warranty. If you read the fine print in your new car manual, you would easily stumble across the great many disclaimers which basically state that any aftermarket car parts must be factory approved and installed on your vehicle by the dealership. So while aftermarket car parts may make your car faster and flashier, when it comes time for a warranty repair, watch out!
