Some ?'s for my future mods.
Here's a few mods I'm looking to install:
[ul][*]CAI & Tune[*]Underdrive Pulleys[*]Hurst STS[/ul]
Now, being limited by money (obvioulsy [&:]), I can only get one at a time, and it will probably be a while before I have them all. Anyway, I'm looking to just save for a few months and purchase a CAI & Tune, which is what I'll probably do, but I'm just interested in the cost of the others. So here's some ?'s I have:
[ul][*]I most likey will have the Ford dealer install the STS, to keep warrenty and all, and was just wondering how much an hour of labor cost & how long it'd take them to do. (This is my first real car lol, so I've never had to deal with labor charges.)[*]Will Ford dealers install UDP's? Do they void warrenty? If they don't, then who would be good to do it? I don't really have many auto/body shops around me (small town) and one of the only real ones I do is a Meineke. That good? They're the ones who installedmy SLP LM's and did a fine job; only charged me $40.I don't feel comfortable taking my car to a little local shop that think they know what they're doing lol.[/ul]
Sorry that was so long and "newb" sounding, but like I said, this is my first real car and I want to do it right! [8D]

RE: Some ?'s for my future mods.
The shifter should be a pretty easy install, but if you dont have the tools to do it or really don't want to deal with it, expect to pay anywhere from 50-100$/hour it can really vary.
I'm sure your dealer will install them, not sure how much they would charge. But know this, a dealer cannot just "void your warranty" due simply to the fact of their knowledge of aftermarket parts on a vehicle. They must prove the aftermarket part caused something to happen, and then they may not cover a certain repair if that is proven. If your dealer tries to tell you otherwise, go somewhere else.
Don't go to a Meineke.
