And a word on the "warranty void" issue - this is not 100% accurate. And I would hope such a guide is quite accurate.
Maybe in communist canada they can void you warranty over trivial items, but the consumer int he US is protected - and the manufacturer can only void the warranty on the componet that was modified or componets reasonably affected by the mod.
So an airfilter mod wont void your tranny warranty, and a rear wing wont void the rust warranty on your hood
Oh - and this paragraph is
very misleading:

The dealership is going to be the first one likely to try void your warranty and most are ill equipped and less than enthusiastic about supporting any kind of aftermarket. Not to mention not every technician is, lets say - as detail orientated as one would want them to be.

Then you and your dealership ar equit eunique and not the norm, I would even hazard a guess you are in the 1% minority.
