Ok see this is the part that I hate the most. A lot of people may get suckered in the fast talking of a salesman that they don't understand their rights. I hate this. I am a law student myself and while I am no expert YET, this scenario falls under basic contract law.
Allow me to explain for those that may be unfamiliar. A contract consists of five parts:
1) Offer- the offer here is that the shop offers to build you a car making 550whp for said price. In this situation 12k-15k.
2) Acceptance- the vehicle owner agrees to the terms of the offer and accepts.
3) Consideration- there is an exchange of monies, goods, and/or service between parties. Here, the consideration is the exchange of making your vehicle produce 550whp in exchange for your money.
4) Capacity- both parties are able to enter into a contract. For example, neither party was under any duress to enter into the contract, both were of sound mind at the time of the contract, and both parties are at or above the age (normally 18) outlined by their state legislature as the appropriate age in which to enter into a contract.
5) Legality- the contract is not of an illegal nature such as a contract to sell illegal drugs.
This is just a condensed version mind you and there are many loop holes. But to me, given the previous scenario outlined by Mike, it sounds like the contract is legally binding. Therefore, the shop is under the obligation to perform his end of the contract and any change to the original terms, i.e price, are considered a breach of the contract.
In the event of a breach of contract, the vehicle owner is allowed to claim damages. Damages will and should include anything necessary to restore the damaged party to his original state before the contract was formed and may also include any consequential or punitive damages. In this scenario, that would include restoring the vehicle to its original condition before any incomplete work may or may not have been performed and any money you have spent during the process.
To add to this, that is another reason why you should not deal with someone who does not have a legitimate business with legitimate insurance or legitimate assets. Say someone were to sue a MysteriouS mechanic with none of the aforementioned items. Well the damages you can receive is limited to what assets that individual person may have and may be less than what you already have invested. So keep that in mind.
Now, this is BASIC CONTRACT LAW and applies to almost all business transactions. I am not claiming to be an expert but know that these elements are fact and general business 101 knowledge.
AND NONE OF YOU GUYS BETTER COMPARE ME TO LAWCHICK!! I WILL EAT YOUR FIRST BORN.
EDIT: I forgot, you can also sue for specific performance in lieu of reimbursement when you can have a court order the breaching party to specifically perform and uphold their end of the contract

I've only started becoming active here on my350z and only stick to the FI section mainly. This site is pretty quick and helpful with responses so I don't post if I have nothing new to contribute. I'm not much of the post ***** unlike some people. 
j/k
