Retail is $599 (100 miles per day $0.50 per mile over)

I had the insurance cover some of that and got a pretty good discount off the retail rate so I'm only paying about $50 per day.

already thought of that doesn't look like it'll fit without a lot of work like extending the front core support, or going back past the stock firewall... not to say it can't be done
