    I'd pass. More expensive complications to go wrong.

    And, it could be an excuse to void any warranty you have on the car,

    Or, at least an excuse for the aftermarket vendor to blame the car's manufacturer or vice versa.

    you know... I've seen more people type about voiding warranty and their fears of losing warranty more than I've read about people actually voiding warranty. guess for me since if I break I fix and after 150k unless you have an extended you dont have a warranty... and what does it take, 3-4 years to rack up more miles which put you outside of warranty bracket most times any way. thus... warranty is only peice of mind before 130k. even then... the oem could say they wont cover warranty claim because even tho your abs unit should be covered, because it doesnt have this specific code.. they wont warranty it and then you do get the code at 150,001 miles and its not covered. warranty isnt some mythical unicorn you must always cherish and adorn for without it you will not perish truthfully.

    this is only an excuse for people to push beyond the limits of what they are told or beleive from the words of others. plus, nothing is perfect and we shouldnt expect all to be and have no complications especially when we do what others havent.
