Each build is different depending on what components u select to upgrade + paint + labor etc. The RSR lenses were ~$300 smackers.
Contact Evan Patak @ Vision Auto Labs for ur quote.

Good Luck

gt3 spindles? if so then you need gt3 rotors not 997 turbo rotors . different offset. same for the coilovers due to the oiffset from the awd axles

Ok, those are some sweet mods. Should be well worth the wait. Which JICs did you go with? I believe there are 4 different versions?

Slightly off topic, but relative to a mention above: GT2 use GT3 or TT parts in front?

Headlights look awesome.
