    Also, I foolishly did not PPF this car, so I have a couple rock chips on the front bumper... l plan to have the front bumper resprayed next year and I'll PPF it then. But, I also know a good bodyshop. They assured me they can match the paint no problem.

One thing that I was stuck on was paint availability/pre-painted parts availability. A quick check on my local dealers' parts site, and I couldn't even get a touch up paint set for the color we were considering. That, and I also thought, future bodywork might be a tricky thing. If I'm wrong, I'd love some correction from some people experienced with these special colors.

    That is a really nice build but yea, I don't see that thing selling for a hundred grand. But maybe I'm just poor.

    I assume this will hit BaT sooner than later, but figured we could talk about it now.

    This is an extremely nice build. But with that many miles, I don't see it getting close to 6 figures.

    I was just commenting because I found that interesting, to be able to order that way. Not a put down at all.
