    I paid just for the filler rod for the welding... but between the resurfacing and straightening after the fact I have a few hundred into the process.

    Hmmm....maybe? lol

    With centercaps on and a regular iS rear lip spoiler, and they are virtually identical. BTW-I bought a new set of door handles, and painted the old set body color as you did. As of now I prefer the black handles, but I still have the other set I can swap on if I change my mind.

    Of course, your motor setup is just slightly more involved and powerful than mine! ;)

    It'a amazing how similar the condition our cars were both in before the work started...very similar.

    I spent about 600 to do the complete paint job... but I paid zero (myself and a friend did everything) for labor.

    I get lots of wheel spin in 2nd gear in the dry rolling into the throttle... if that gives you any idea. I plan to dial out some rear camber to hopefully gain some more traction.
