Acura:Comptech::???:???

Okay...this may be a naive question, but we know Comptech products are built for Honda/Acura. What products are specifically made for other cars?! ie.....Audi, BMW, MB, Subaru, Toyota, Nissan, etc.

Honda used to have Mugen... maybe still does, but the CL just got screwed out of any cool mods or kits.


And HKS is not Toyota-specific.

Well there are a lot more...

Ford - SVT
Chevy/Pontiac - SLP
etc

Most manufacturers have one company or division for aftermarket work, most of which is under warranty.

APR is to Audi kinda like Comptech is to Acura.... not quite official parts company, and not all that many products, but ones that are popular.

its an audi tuner but its not similar to comptech (as they have close ties to honda)

honda is pretty established is america. audi is not. i'll bet that has something to do with comptech (american) tuning hondas.
cant think of too many domestic companies tuning cars that dont have production facilities in the states

Car brand sold in USA : a primary mod company in USA
