What about the Flint Mica color? I think that looks sick on the 2nd gen Its a dark gunmetal color, or close to that.

Wow, I was quoted $5200 to repaint my car the factory color. That included the removal of my aftermarket bodykit, wing, roof spoiler and extras...

I work in a bodyshop and 5k sounds about right. Remenber what kind of car you have which it shoudnt make a difference but it does!!! what labor rate is it? we are 40 dollars an hour in va so lets say your estiment says the bodyman gets between 40-80 hours to take the car apart,do the bodywork,and put the car back together,plus all new emblems (your going to need them) and your painter 50-80 hours to paint ,plus paint materials ?? 40x60=2400.00 bodyman, 40x50=2000.00 painter,and materials 500.00

This wont make youre insurance go up........this is considered vandalism, which falls under your comprehensive portion of your insurance, which does not affect insurance rates.
