If you're worried about price, you can port it yourself and then give it a nice coat of engine paint. There's a lot of information on this board and at how-to web sites on how to do it; doesn't take any special tools either.

Anyway, you could either have yours ported and powdercoated by the sponsors mentioned, or have another unreworked core ported. Almost anything can be fixed if necessary.
Bauer did mine. Shiny black looks good, as does "chassis" black which is semigloss.

yes i did, i decided to just port it myseld, i didnt have a problem i talked to the guy at bauer and he said thats common when you port a tb, WOT will read richer and the fuel trims will read they are putting more gas into the car......took me about 3 hours to get it all done and i like it, just didnt have the money right now to send one out...
