hey guys, kinda curious what you guys think. i have been trying to sell my 98 jdm type r but doesnt seem like anyone wants to buy anything right now. Well i have been wanting a milano red ITR for quit some time, before i decided to buy this one, i was too late on buying the one they had. So, now im thinking of keeping the car and painting it milano red. what do you guys think. Am i making a dumb move, should i just deal with it being white? here is a pic of it how it sits now.

 

Milano red is an awesome color. Its your car paint it any color you want just make sure you get a good paint job.

 

the only real concern i have is if i was to repaint it, it might be harder to sell because it not being the original color.

 

True but it's a JDM car it's not like there aren't 25k more of them out there around the world. If it was USDM I would have said no way, but being that it is JDM I say go for it.

 

The car looks super cleen

 

your right, thanks for your opinion.

 

Don't paint it MR. Keep it CW. Your R looks real clean, and it'll never be the same as having a real authentic MR JDM ITR if you paint it.

 

+1

 

 

From the pictures you provided it looks clean and like it doesn't need a paint job. If it is as clean as it looks, then keep it original. If you do repaint it, do it right and gut the car and paint everything! MR is nice though

 

keep it original color broo

 

Paint it. Your car looks clean.

It's your car, do it.

 

how much you asking for the car?

 

If you do paint it do the jambs please and bay. Go all out or dont do it at all.

I'd say go for it and paint. But like others said I'd strip the whole car and paint everything.

 

car looks clean keep it white, but its your car... its a lot of work to do it the right way plus hard to find some one to do it the right way and to do a good job...

 

Well but if he paints it..it'll most probably be the ONLY milano red jdm itr =P.

Be unique..don't jump on the bandwagon! My friends hated it when I paired my white eg with some red konig britelites but too hell with them..i loved it haha

 

what are you talking about when you say only? the only one in his town?

 

i love the r81, but consider the red with the red recaros too much red imo. If you have the money for it and considering keeping it for the next decade go for it.

 

My sentiments exactly!

 

Milano red was offered on the '98 Spec JDM Type-Rx. Like silver, red is the most rare color to see on an ITR, but they out there, two in the US as far as i know, a close friend of mine actually has one.

 

like this. Not just Rx but all R's after 1998> It'd be cool IF done right, (engine bay, behind the gas panel, EVERYWHERE)

 

if you do a full color change id say go for it

 

Done right the paint should look fine. I painted my eg civic from mr to cw. You would never know the difference.
