I worked in the motorcycle aftermarket industry for a while and quickly learned that "customized" means chrome farkles, meaning it looks different from the original iteration because the oil filter is now chrome instead of black.
It is all so silly, but big money, so we sold the crap to a lot of people "customizing" their bikes, and couldn't wait to sell them more chrome!
It was rare to talk to someone that wasn't a "Harley" mechanic, been working on them for 30 years. The guys that knew their never pulled that line on us, and we respected them for it, and genuinely liked working with them.
Seems the automobile industry experiences the same thing.
