Obviously some of this has GOT to go... I despise fire extinguishers publicly displayed in windows, and I'm putting in some decent bucket seats with a 4 point harness for starters. Then comes the mandatory(And obnoxiously loud) blow off valve(haha, I'm running boost and your noooot!). And after that, some real mods, like ECU, single tailpipe conversion, FMIC, etc etc till I get to the bigger turbo. Oh yeah, a white paint job! Man these cars look classy in white! My goal is 350 hp, not for dragging, but for racing. And since the car is so nice, I may end up showing it up here in NorCal. I'll keep everybody posted.

Changing the color to white will be ALOT of work.

I know :(

I've been referred to www.bodypros.com in SoCal, but it's not gonna be cheap... oh well, maybe I can use all the money I saved by buying an 11 year old car... oh wait, damn!

To do the FULL job most shops would probably charge you something in the neighborhood of $8K+. I've done it myself, but it took a while. Now I could probably do it alot faster. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...

8k?? Seems a little high... I was thinking more in the neighborhood of 2-3k... What are you factoring in that I'm not that's so expensive? I realize that removing vital components to get to the engine bay is time consuming... But 8k? lol, oh well... I await the response of someone far more educated than I! =P

A GOOD same color paint job with minor disassembly usually costs $2-3K. To change a color correctly you have to take everything out of the engine bay and interior. Most of the money involved is for labor. You may be able to get it done for $6K, but that's pushing it.
