the best sounds come from larger displacement engines.

I never knew it would be so hard to find a tire depth gauge. I've tried local auto parts stores without any luck. I have ~35K miles on my stockers and I want to start keeping track. I think MXM4s are rated for 55K miles. I was hoping to last until the summer and get some DWS or something similar.

Why not buy some cheap calipers and use the depth gauge on the end? I bought some plastic ones from China on ebay for like $5. It's still accurate to the nearest .1"

Should be good enough right?

Dunno if this fits your "cheap" criteria though.

I think this is the older version, but it's only $100 on Amazon. Can be had for less on eBay I think. I have it and it's pretty decent for a little speaker. Never had any issues with Bluetooth functionality.

All a preference but before Subaru started putting equal length headers on their cars a boosted ej20/25 sounds sexy with a nice 3inch downpipe/exhaust.. You can't say for instance Utah's boosted tsx sounds "anemic". I love hearing tuned 4 cylinders with a lot of "efficient" power.. Sometimes v6's w/ exhaust can have very annoying garbles just as with some 4 cyl. It's all about minimizing the "annoying-ness".

I driven a 320i a lot and it basically makes 0 sounds. I've heard modded EVO's that sound sick as hell on the other hand so it all depends

Hmm, I don't think that would be an issue because the black frame doesn't come down much. I think I found it though, if this is it.

To stop the plate from flapping around and scratching up your paint and to also look nice.
There are also some which make your plates harder to see... for obvious reasons.

It looks nice but the tint will get you pulled over so fast.

I don't know. I have a friend who has the same thing minus the frame for 2+ years, no trouble. If a cop pulls you over for it, they either have nothing better to do or are a complete dick.

Also if I ever get caught by a red light camera, hopefully they can't make out that it's me. Hahaha.

Lol, let me know what you decide. I'm not going to get the tinted cover after much reading. Just not worth not knowing if I could get a $100+ ticket for something so stupid. I like the freshasfck plates too, but I'm riding stock haha. :/
