Default Reply went in wrong place; I was agreeing with you and refuting whomever said that N2 didn't expand
with temp. Haven't invoked Charle's Law in quite a while. Nice reference. Chemistry 103 was usefull after all!

Default Personally, I think the M5 spoiler looks better than nitrogen in tires. ;-)
But seriously, a cosmetic mod is worthwhile as long as the owner is happy with it. A mechanical mod really should accomplish something positive (even if it is giving the owner the feeling satisfaction having the mod).
