ballpark cost of mods

Ok next question---

Can you guys give me back-of-the-napkin estimates for:

GT3 front, installed and painted

Techart side skirts, installed and painted

Techart 19" wheels

Also, any shops in chicagoland you would recommend for installation?

thanx again,
Alan

Talk to Peter Lee at Wheel Experts (Site Sponsor) for the Techart wheels. I bought mine from him years ago and the price and service was great.

Not directly on point, but...

Purchasing, shipping, painting and installing Techart chip spoiler and skirts should be in the range of $4k.

Techart Formula II rims should be in the range of $4k. Probably about 20% less if you went with the regular Techart rims.

Let me know if you find a good shop in chicagoland to do the paint/install, I may be going the same route (spoiler/skirts).

I like budgeting $20K for mods during the life of the car and work backwards from there


O'Hare Autobody is the best by far. A ton of "add-on" experience
