"Aftermarket" is a term used to describe accessories that are not made by the factory. So for example, for your Ford Escort Zx2, if you buy accessories for your car that are not actually made by Ford, then those are termed "aftermarket". Many people use the term "Escort Zx2 aftermarket accessories" specifically when referring to custom accessories for the Escort Zx2, like performance accessories or custom appearance accessories. But even if you just replace your Escort Zx2 brake pads with OEM-grade factory-style brake pads that are not made by Ford, those too are aftermarket Escort Zx2 accessories. Over the course of a vehicle's life, it almost certainly will have aftermarket accessories installed in it at some point, even if the vehicle is never actually "modded out".
