The average total cost ranges from $4,000 to $10,000.
Cost breakdown:
  • implants from $1,000 to $1,300 (large, huge, gargantuan, or adjustable = more )
  • anesthesia fee from $600 to $800,
  • facility fee from $800 to $1,200,
  • remaining cost is the surgeon's fee.

I have official approval from PCA for this. "Fasteners" are the new "welding."

Yes there was... anything that is flush AND you can remove without special tools should work just fine. PM Lane and find out what he is using. BTW anything shinny on the black will look funky.

Just put some decals or black tape over them. If they're flush with the body, no one will even know they're there.

x3 to what TR and I think Vicegrip said about fasteners.

Boy, Stock sure isn't very stock anymore. Its almost like the old prepared classes it seems. "stock fenders" but not held on in the stock way. Stripped interiors. Converting from Sunroof to non-sunroof. 18" wheels. Fiberglass bumpers. Full roll cages.
