Well lets put it this way...

If your willing to pay over $2-3,000 for a paint job im pretty sure they'll do the inside engine bay for you as well , so i wouldnt be surprised if its a expensive Paint Job it recieved.

Or the cheaper option is to get a GPX add the Blue GPvR seats. The struts he has isn't the normal vR.

Oh here we go again... Is it a real vR, or is it not? "But the seats, but the strut brace, but the climate control.. " :roll:

Wow that was quick 8O

Anyway, you may want to post in the Cars for Sale section and list everything done, just so it makes it easier to sell. Good luck!
