So i have been working on putting together some package deals for the New MS3. i work with my best friend who owns a automotive accessory bussiness and one of our biggest clients is a Mazdaspeed dealership. the package deal im working on purposing would include a Prosport permium 60mm boost gauge with vent pod. engine bay dress up kit and short through shift plate with shift knob package.
my goal is to expand bussiness a little for ourselves and offer the dealership a "tuner package" to help sell cars.
it seems like a boost gauge and some aspect of the shifter are areas owners tend to target first. so if i could offer this as an already installed feature through a dealership covered under warranty would this interest you? do you think its a good idea. is this something that you would have liked to of seen on your cars before you bought? are there other things i should focus on? or is it a dumb idea?

let me know what you think. thanks

As long as your shifter knob and engine bay dress up kit did not look gawdy or ricey, it would appeal to me depending on price.

The dealer approved and warrantied part is a nice touch.
 
In all honesty im thinking about going with accessories and Parts From James Barone Racing. they offer a nice selection of parts and accessories, they also offer a great product with warranty. ive talked with them a little already and it looks good, but i haven finalized things yet.
so the engine bay dress up kit would be from James Barone Racing for the MS3, battery cover, fuse box cover and TMIC shroud cover. and i might just stick with the TMIC shroud cover that says mazdaspeed 3 keep it simple. but the engine bay dress up kit is honestly last on my list.
Would also offer there STS and shift knobs. the knobs are new for them and look really nice. weighted as well which will make shifting nicer.
i like the idea of dealing with a smaller company and one that is an approved vendor here as well.
my other focus would be the prosport boost gauge with vent pod.
anyway its a work in progress and thats why im looking for any and all input from you MS3 owners.

i know if it were me and i could buy a car with the above stated accessories that would be very appealing have them already installed and have it rolled into the monthly car payment that would be great, keep me from shelling out later for the same thing.

anyway keep the input coming. thanks
 
lots of views but no comments??? a simple reply of sounds good or it wouldnt be for me is all im looking for. :)
 
sounds like a good idea and the modifications you selected seem right on. i would also consider rear motor mount insert and shifter bushings; cheap, easy, and worthwhile mods.
 
i would be interested if i saw some numbers with it installed and as long as it still came with the warranty. same with price, if it wasnt to much more. like unreasonably.
 
ok now we are talking. thanks guys, much needed input. what the dealership decides to charge for it is up to them really and i dont have any idea yet about that. im still working out details for purchasing everything myself but so far so good, everyone has been very helpful and willing to work with me on price, but i do have to purchase in bulk...... and thats ok. so i feel ill be offering great products for a great price, so i hope to keep the end cost, what the buyer sees down. keep the input coming guys. thanks
