A lot of OEMs do that now, at least with some of their models. For example, you have to be OE Audi certified to get any structural parts on the TT, A8, R8. Tesla only sells structural parts to OE certified shops. My friend owns an OE Tesla shop, and whoo boy, are those things built like trash...but I digress.

Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck.
