I applaud this list and agree with all of it, except the HID's.

I agree with most of it.
They should have said HID's in stock REFLECTOR housing, stock projectors(tiburons) are fine. Other wise reflector housings shoot the light all over the place blinding everyone in front of you.
And my car has a STOCK a-pillar boost/vacuum gauge so I disagree with that

Fully agreed on the stance as #1. I have had HID's in stock reflective housings, and have them in my Veloster projectors. Think i've been flashed more times in the V than I ever was in the Elantra.
Take them out

I agree with all but #6. If you NEED gauges (if your car had nothing but factory idiot lights and is making double the stock HP), the best place for them is in line-of-sight.

I only fully agree with three of these...probably because I'm an a**hole.
Six of these apply to at least one car I own or have owned.

living in Panama City I have to say that I've seen everything on this list driving around down here... my car plumes smoke out of the exhaust but only when I drop it down a gear.... or if some one is tailgating me.
