The cost was 3k including all prep work and damage repair. Dropped it off on a Friday and drove off on the Saturday afternoon after.
 

Looks great
Was there much in the way of damage?  ie:  stone chips, trolley dings, etc.
Mine desperately needs a respray & I was thinking it would be more than that.  I'm not in Victoria, but good to know it can be done for $3k when I am getting a price.

I had a decent number of stone chips, peeling clear coat and a few dings in left passenger side fender and rear quarter.
 
Couple months ago had a big scrape from a hit and run car park driver. Not the first time this has happened to me :/
 
The price starts from $2500 for "mask and spray".

Thanks.  :).  Being armed with prices & info from others is always good, especially when some people tend to try & take advantage of us girls.
I had a scrape from a hit & run parker on the way home from Toyota Nationals at Easter.  Thankfully it wasn't as bad as it first looked once I got the polish to it.
 

First wash, clay and wax. The new paint job came out great :)
 

Also soon taking delivery of a pristine pair of Recaro SP-JJ "Raptor" seats. Let me know if you want my OEM LX Recaros...
 
 

Finally got around to putting in the Recaros as I needed brand new rails to fit the newer style of seat.
 
Initially had doubts about red seats but they look quite good against black paint / black interior. These ones have the  lumbar support air pumps and boy do they make a difference.
 

Out with the old

 
In with the new!

According to the stickers these are tested on the Nordschleife, not sure if it's really true...

 
While I was in there I also replaced all the soft brake lines with Goodridge SS braided ones. Unfortunately was not able to do the driver's front side as the flare nut on the hard line was done up so tight I ended up rounding it. Anyone know a source of a replacement for the (non-ABS) hard line?

Dunno what the prob is, but none of the pics in that last post are visible here.

Thanks for letting me know seasalt I've fixed this issue!

I notice in the main thread post you've swapped out the old with new Bilstein B6 struts + TRD springs. I know it's only been two days but can you comment on how you like them so far? 

I have identical wheel specs (except I run 245/40 rear rather than 255/40) and have been told coilovers won't fit, but it looks like you managed to get these Bilsteins in fine! Any photos of the fitment?

I'm very interested as I may go down this path also, looks pretty straight forward

Are they TRD or Eibach springs?
