Ten mils is .010" or .25mm if I'm not crazy.

It's a very standard tolerance for aircraft parts.

Yeah and that wouldn't be too bad either... still expensive but not completely unrealistic for ALL parts of a car.

Kinda unreasonable for the number of cast parts most cars use, but for machined surfaces it shouldn't be too bad.
