OEM vs. Aftermarket: What’s Actually Worth Upgrading on Your Car?

In this episode of Rennthusiast Radio, Derek and Will dig deep into the world of car modifications, weighing the pros and cons of OEM parts versus aftermarket upgrades. From steering wheel replacements and exhaust systems to short shift kits and audio upgrades, they share personal stories, costly lessons, and what they wish they knew before diving in.

You’ll hear:

• Which mods truly enhance performance or driving experience
• Where safety concerns should override cost savings
• How aftermarket parts can affect resale value
• Why some cosmetic upgrades are a waste—and others are game-changers
• Real talk on community feedback, research, and avoiding regret

If you're modding your Porsche or any enthusiast car, this is the episode to hear first.
