1. Front is about 3k in parts
2. Body work is between 3-7k depending on where you live (labor is expensive)
3. paint is about 2k
4. Rear end parts, new OEM will be less than 2k but I got my muffler and diffuser used
5. battery tray conversion is about $600 in parts (needed to run the 1M exhaust)

Body work is the most expensive part as you can see. There's 3 different approaches to that, new inner and outer wheelhouse, complete OEM 1M quarter panels, or a riveted body kit like the rocketbunny FRS.
