[quote name='RETed' date='Aug 11 2005, 04:42 AM']Oh, don't worry...it won't surprise me.

I've seen $10k...$15k paint jobs...

I don't think that paint job is that much, but it was still some serious money...over $5K?

Wow are you serious? It has the factory paint with a color change sticker worth about 100 bucks. Go figure? I hope to do a color change paint job after I finish putting on the side skirts and the wing. Most likley next year.
