Oh wait, that's Monopoly money, er.. canadian funds.. According to XE.com, 312$ USD. Mine is a Duratec, they had to remove the wheel, splash guard, driveshaft, and I think the left rear door on my girlfriend's Honda.. j/k I won't have the garage until October, I thought I could do it, but I'm not so sure anymore, after seeing this..
