I know we're all rainbows and flowers over here about the blackwings. But the lack/cost of aftermarket support/options really impales the experience. Just thought I'd make this thread in hopes that something changes.

What aftermarket options are you looking for?I know we're all rainbows and flowers over here about the blackwings. But the lack/cost of aftermarket support/options really impales the experience. Just thought I'd make this thread in hopes that something changes.
I would guess that’s not an issue anymore.It can happen to any vehicle. A Jeep, perhaps the most mod extensive vehicle on the planet, and before the pandemic the wait time for a 6-spd transmission was over a year.
IDK, my crappy NSG370 never had and problems and if I needed a replacement I would go aftermarket with a Tremec TR-4050.I would guess that’s not an issue anymore.
As someone who has extensively modified his Porsches and BMW's over the years, I agree it does kinda suck.I know we're all rainbows and flowers over here about the blackwings.

My other car had just under 4000 units produced over its entire production run, and it had a fairly strong and healthy aftermarket. That’s partially because it was assumed owners would pony up the costs, but also because there existed problems that the OEM would not solve so there was a need for aftermarket support. At least five different manufacturers offered exhaust options for example.
The Blackwing is the first vehicle I’ve ever purchased that truly doesn’t need an aftermarket exhaust
GM really threw everything they had at these cars, so there are few if any aftermarket companies that possess the depth of engineering knowledge to improve pretty much anything on this platform.
You can’t even change the grill on one of these without reducing airflow to the radiators, so incredibly thorough was the engineering into so many pieces of the beast.
Where do you even get winters? I pretty much only use TireRack and they only provide High Performance All Seasons as options. Which I'm probably going to get as we don't get much snow in NJ and when we do, I don't get anywhere usually anyway.I am fortunate that this issue in no way affects me, as I plan to keep the car completely stock. I like it exactly as it is.
It seems winter tires are not exactly easy, and last year I never put them on. I found plenty of days that were over 40 degrees and dry to enjoy the car, and since it is not a daily for me, I don't have to have worry about it.
I think 6 figure cars are a little different as performance shops know there is a lot of money flowing for folks buying Lambos.Lambo moves fewer than 10k units per year across the entire platform and there is lots of aftermarket parts. And most of that is Uris.
