From RonStygar_at_aol.com Sat Mar 7 19:51:50 1998 Scott, I had mine painted at Automobile Associates of Canton, CT 860-693-0278 (ask for Jim Newton) for $150.00 and installed it myself. Their quality is outstanding. Ask Jim for an install price. Stop over some weekend, and I will show you whats involved (relatively easy), but I will not install it for you.
The hardest part (for me) was reinstalling the interior hatch trim. Some of my mounting clips (total of ten) part # 51 49 8 183 309 which retail for $0.20 were missing (If you attempt this you will see why). The two bottom edge expanding rivets are a one shot item, so you will have to purchase two of them.
Schwarz ones part # 51 11 1 944 537 retail for $0.37. You may also want to puchase two screw caps in case you ruin them when removing the interior hatch trim.
Schwarz ones part # 51 16 1949 793 retail for $0.38. In addition, I also screwed the two sides from below, using brass screws, similar to the way the 328 rear wing is mounted. p.s. New Country Motors has access to an excellent paint shop.
