Yes, it's a bit ricey, but as I said, I don't follow fads one way or the other. I just don't care. The fad will pass, and I'll still want my gauges.

But I won't put on the buzzy muffler because it annoys me. I don't need a subwoofer because my old ears can't tell the difference any more and I don't need to feel the bass, and neon under the car really doesn't light up the road where I need it lit.

But sometimes fools do come up with practical solutions. I'll feel free to adopt those, and ignore the rest.

That's your pennance for making the negative ricer comment after being politely asked not to

I call the buzzy mufflers a "fart can" and also find them very annoying.
I would like to have a small subwoofer - the stock speakers don't put out much bass.
Neon under the car is a dumb idea IMO, but I have seen halogen fog lights mounted underneath Jeeps - for being better able to see the rocks and obstacles when wheeling at night!

Couldn't have said it better myself, thanks!
