You might drive the car before you bother to install cags. I was all set to install it and started driving the car and now 6 months later Im not going to bother. btw, great color choice and congrats!

As for your questions......
Cags = Mid America,
Bra = Colgan (best value for the $, check around for price),
Cover = Stormsheild (I've have a few, this one is my favorite).

Congratulations! It's a long wait, but definitely worth it!
I'm curious, your name talldude67, are you 6'7". My friend is 6'7" and does not fit in the car comfortably to drive it

If the 1to4 shift bothers you, just disconnect the CAGS plug, put a 2.2Kohm resistor into the female plug, use electrical tap on both male and female plug, ang tie off the female plug. You can get resistors at Radio Shack for $1.00. I did it today and it took 10 minutes.
