The aftermarket does a lot of things better than factory equipment. Take exhausts for example: An M3 can come from the factory sounding fantastic. But spend a couple of grand on a nice Corsa system and it can make the factory exhaust sound like a kitten purring. Of course, there are a number of reason why automakers choose to equip cars the way they do, but sometimes, you encounter an aftermarket solution that’s so good, you can’t help but wish the car had come that way from the start.

We asked readers what aftermarket upgrades they thought should come standard from the factory. Here are their answers.

Welcome back to Answers of the Day, our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best 10 responses from the previous Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It’s by you and for you, Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
