I searched the pro-touring/lateral G forums for quite some time before deciding to buy my camaro, and found the same answers everywhere you look.

"How much did you pay for paint?"

"Depends how much you want to spend."

That doesn't really help anybody.

Seems like when people talk about specific components/parts theres no issue to talking about price, but when it comes down to total project cost and paint/body cost, mums the word.

When it comes down to camaros specifically. I think a nice driver camaro can be built for 30k, a nice pro touring camaro for 60k, a VERY nice pro-touring camaro 90k, and a full blown show car 120k+. Fair to say?

Or am I way off the mark?
Sorry to make you read so much, but That is like asking how much for a bag of Groceries? There is no Defining answer. What is a nice camaro? I know it is might be 30 grand in parts and no labor. But the parts don't assemble themselves. If your looking for a building a 30 grand camaro go buy one that some guy built for 60 grand.

I guess I could quote another pointless saying, "If you have to ask maybe you cannot afford it".
