I wouldn't think so... if it is, than number one, I need to buy it from the same people, and number two, I have to move to Dubai!

Rony got it right
the parts cost me an additional $3k USD, i compared the prices with some of you who did the same conversion, and the price i paid for my GT500 parts was almost identical +-
as for the workshop installation charges, when you think of all that's involved, they really didn't charge me much.. or did they?

I depends on the quality of the job G.T. Alot of people who don't paint or know anything about paintwork would probably think that is way high. Judging from all the pics I would guess what you paid is about right. Most of the work (man hours) in a paint job is in the prep. Your stripes and molded side scoops I would imagine are a good chunk right there.

That's closer to what I figured.

I was gonna freak if it was $3.5k total.

Justin, i ordered the GT500 parts direct from the dealer in Dubai
Interesting that you bring up the rear spoiler, as i was initially told it's on backorder and would arrive 2-3 weeks after the rest of my parts.
yet when the container arrived, the spoiler was there!

you could probably try 3DCarbon 3D500 rear spoiler, which is almost a replica for half the price

Yeah I could, but the 3D Spoiler is a 3 Piece while the Actual GT5OO Spoiler is one. Though I am still stuck between getting the GT500 or the CDC Ducktail...I'm just not sure, and thank you for the information.

Nice G.T. I am going to try to get away from doing the stripes myself but I think to really make the CS6 Hood stand out it needs stripes.

Your ride is pimp.
