Basically, read the "Protege FAQ" and then follow all the sections of this forum, and within a few months you'll know so much more then you do now

Oh and don't rush the mods since you'll probably regret buying some stuff later on. Sleep on your money and read the FAQ are the best two things that I can tell you

Oh and welcome!!!

Yeah just like everyone else said, just read the posts as much as you can, do searches, and then ask questions. Everyone here is really cool and knowledgeable, and they will help you out when you get stuck.

Yup the best way I learned is see what people are posting, get the comments and find out how to do it. There is also a manual out that shows you all the internal components and the make of the P5. I got one at PartSource to get me started.

Oh yea, good idea to start with the basics and move up.

K&N Filters
Sound System
Tints (get someone to do this)
Those really annoying blinking LED's on the washer sprayer thingys.
Painting the brake calipers.

I just learned how to install a CAI, replace the hoses and I am figuring out the body kit next.
