So I just bought my MS3 on Friday and have set up an appointment with Ken at Protege Garage to install my MS Coldair Intake, MS Exhaust, New rear engine mount, Forge Blow off valve, Protege Garage gauge pillar, Boost gauge, Wideband, and Oil pressure, Turbo Timer, and custom HID kit 12000k.
Not bad for owning my Speed3 for only 3 Days.....(thumb)

12000K HID? Sounds a little 'heat score' to me, good luck with those!
Congrats on the car and all the fun mods!

Wow thats going to be a heafty bill. Considering all the money I put down for all my mods. But there is one thing you left out to manage all those mods and put a fine tune on that car...which is a tuning solution.

Last week had some of my mods done to the car. Ken's team is awesome! He hooked me up and was very helpful. I HIGHLY recommend Ken and his team. Zack, Steve thanks for your hard work!(bowdown)
So far installed:
MS Coldair Intake, MS Exhaust, test pipe, New rear engine mount, Forge Blow off valve, Protege Garage gauge pillar, and Boost gauge.

congrats!! you're probably the only other guy/gal? I've seen who bought all these goodies other than myself! well maybe the list is a tad bit different, but who cares!! lol
I got all my stuff the same week I got my car, only difference, I had to wait on delivery... lol
-MS Sportsprings
-MS Sportdampers
-MS CAI
-MS CBE
-Window Tinted (installed day after delivery of my MS3)
-Rockblocker film installed once it arrived...
All this in a matter of 4-5 days minus shipping time... you probably beat me by about 2 days or so... you sneak you ! lol

Ken took care of me (wink). Yea you should check out Protege Garage. I am located in WI but the Garage is located in IL. Just give him a call 1-847-247-5090 and he'll be able to help you out!

Also I forgot that the Protege Garage Team put in my turbo timer. Thanks Eric!

sounds like a good plan. i assume it's a sport if you're 'upgrading' to HID.
i would recommend an HID kit from 4300K (OEM standard) to no higher than 6000K. that 12000K is gonna be purple coloured and probably emit no better light than stock halogens. just a thought.
$1000 for the i/e installed is actually pretty good, seeing that the CAIs are up near $300 and the exhaust is probably around $500, $200 in labor seems right for the amount of time those things take.
definitely bring some pics when it's done.

that's a deal for the exhaust/intake installed. I was almost at that for just those items alone.
