With me removing the front bumper, rear bumper, sail panels, door panels, spoiler and a few other peices, and pulling the engine, I'm paying just over 3000 (Canadian) for my color change....
have already torn mine down and just got a estimate on materials alone. $1300. me and friend doing everything ourselfs. obviously depends on quality of materials.
Maaco isnt that bad if you dont go to a prison release program one... and do the body work and masking your self... take car of it and you might have it last 3-4 years
