I have several of thier boards at home.. they do nice work and it's a good way to display the fact that your car got ink.
The cost you quoted sounds higher than normal but I'm sure that's because they did it on two boards. A friend of mine just got his done. He had a five page spread in PHR and the board cost him about $180. Here's a pic:
I had one done of my 2000 SS and it cost me $170..
It's not thier fault that the pages don't line up. That will happen anytime it's done from a magazine that if perfect-bound rather than saddle stiched. I't impossible to print them perfectly, but In-The-News does as good a job as possible. I hade the Camaro on for 5 years and it still looks perfect with no fading.
Oh, and $249 is a STEAL.. how often do you get a nice spread in a magazine and a spot on the cover? They look really cool up on the wall
