Where are you located?
I'm having C2Design re-do my whole interior. And I mean everything. So I suggest a shop that already works with expensive cars.
It's not a very hard job either, very simple infact.

Can I add another post to ask the famous Dinko questions too?
Dinko! I'm thinking of getting my ECu upgrade from kleemann too. I'm just wondering if the cost you spent on the ECU upgrades worth it? Can you feel more significant pull when u floor it? What about gas milage and warranty issues? And If I want to do my intake, is there any thing specific you reccomend ? Thanks!

I think it was worth it. I have no regrets. Throttle response is most noticable, plus you won't stop at 155 
With that, purchase some greenfilters from www.euroteckmotorsports.com and you'll love the difference in response and feel of your new beast.

Wasn't the Kleemann ECU mod like $1500?
Might as well go with the headers upgrade. It's twice as expensive, but you're more like to get 2 or even 3 times more power. A Kleemann sales person mentioned me via e-mail that the ECU will net you between 10 and 15hp, whilst a header will give you up to 40hp extra (with 30hp being standard).

Thanks!! Now... i see.
did you have to ship your car over to Kleemann?
I read some post regarding the green filter that might not be working well in cold, is it true? Cause, living in boston is more like a freezing hell.

Day 1: Ship to kleemann
Day 2: Kleemann receives chip, works on it, ships it out to you
Day 3: You receive the chip back
You can also call Cory at Kleemann USA and they can tell you how to remove the chip yourself. I wish I would have gone this route.

Thanks Dinko!
Remove the chip myself sounds good. I can't bare to be without my car for 3 days. haha. I'm not sure if I can work on it myself though but will give it a try....
