FYI - inspect your rain gutters to insure proper coating in the crevices. My Baja Tan UV treated Line-X still looks great after 3+ years.

I really don't know but I would assume somewhere between 150-200 lbs. I could be way off but that's my guess. I don't feel it at all in the driving characteristics but then again I have 700ft/lbs so...

What does something like that cost (ballpark)? I'm thinking of getting my Ford painted, but the estimates I'm getting are pretty high.

All told this cost me $2500 which was in the same ball park as a professionally done paint job. You could probably find cheaper paint shops but you get what you pay for in that respect I would think. Either way I'm happy with it!

Learned that lesson 4 minutes into picking it up. Not pleasant!

Might serve as a minor theft deterrent then?

I like the look---unique, not a bad price considering all that was done. Should be a bit easier to maintain since washing, waxing and all that other nonsense the typical exterior paint finish requires.

Stopped by the local Line-X today told me it would cost between $6 to $7K ouch. You got a great deal.

Front and Rear Bumpers were made by a company in Montana called Throttle Down Kustoms. Very good quality and great fit and finish. No complaints regarding their work at all.

I left my Van overnight in a very bad area of Oakland last month. I shoulda known better but I'm just happy they didn't slash my tires or break any windows.

Whaaaaaa da Fuuuuu...??? Where do you live? I could recommend the shop that did it for me. They are down in the greater LA area. I would also check with other places, I shopped around but nobody quoted me more than $4500.

Nope, but when I first bought this Van I got it weighed and it weighed 6080 lbs. I will try and get it weighed again here shortly but there's been a lot more added to this Van that will balloon the weight.

Just talked to the guy that did the Line-x job and he said it all told it was about 50lbs. Not as bad as I assumed.
