    Wonder why? Seems to me like a money printing machine for them, the factory and non- factory repair shops and the aftermarket.

    Unless it’s seen as a way to hide your car from illegal activities, which well now that I think about it is probably the reason they didn’t follow through with the idea.

      Probably a balance between it would make it cheap for them to produce, but also bring down the barrier to entry for third party manufacturers to compete with them.
