It ran about 800 delivered for the body parts, and another 500 for the paint.

I picked up the tips for 75 off ebay and the same for the mufflers. A new pair of the Saleen specific mufflers was another 200.

In hindsight, I would have grabbed the bumper off ebay as I thought there were more parts or something else included in the OE Saleen "kit." I've seen the rear bumper go for 99 lately... that's oh, about 450 cheaper than full retail!!! I got hosed paying full price, but I was sure that there would have been more parts, or instructions, or at least a damn sticker. Nothing in the box save a bumper cover.

I've been collecting parts since May and the mufflers should be here tomorrow to complete the look.

Where'd you get the decklid part? I've heard that part alone is like $200 from Saleen.

that is a very clean look. I love it. I'm still debating between that rear and the GT500 rear.

I got quoted $229.99 from John Borrero at Speedlab.
