Keep in mind if you get the CAI/tune you have to give them your mods list so they can customize your tune. That is why I suggested doing it all at once. You can price around gear install, you may be able to get it a little cheaper.

Ah, just a suggestion for the shorty antenna... You can easly do this yourself. Just grab a saw and cut the antenna to your liking, and pull the ball off the top. Use apoxy and glue it to the top of the shortened piece. Sand the apoxy down with a light sand paper. Paint it your desired color.
It takes about 10 minutes, and saves you around 20 to 30 bucks, maybe even more depending on where you get it from.

Any decent tuner will update his tunes for free. It's really not that hard to update the tune for gears with the x-cal anyway.

thanks guys, i guess ill just put up with the ugly (not really ugly, just not as pretty as leather) cloth seats a little longer and just get the CAI, tune, and gears all at once.
what should i be expecting as far as install prices for the gears or can a VERY newbie weekend mechanic (myself) do the job?
i really dont think it would look that bad, you might need to get the black floor mats to make it seem like it was meant to be that stock (my main goal)

Cutting the antenna does not affect the reception within reason. Just dont cut it down to like 3 inces and expect same quality. I cut mine to 14 inches and I cant tell the differance. The black ball is also not necessary. I attacked it with krazy glue but on a really hot day while cleaning I accedently knocked it off. Recption went unchanged except I just gotta be carefull that I dont poke out an eye.
