If you notice, in BOLD type at the bottom of my post, I give *Special Thanks to Lam @ Lam Photography for the shots. He's the one to give credit to for the beautiful photos. He's obviously a "professional". I could have never gotten anything close to the quality of these pics. (But thanks for props on the car).

[Mutato]

What would you estimate the cost to be? Minus the car.
