Marcus, don't forget all the extra "junk" under the dash that would be needed just to hang that 3 rd. pedal too.
When you start to add everything up, (and the work involved) You would probably be further ahead just to do a repaint like you mentioned.
The Crossfire never came from the factory in my favorite color, so I've always thought that the day would come when I'd probably find another Crossfire and have it painted too.
