Well after waiting for entirely to long I finally sanded down my car after it got a new fresh paint job. I spent days wet sanding and buffing it. The finish is now smoother than silk.

I finally ordered my stickers and had them sitting for a few months and I was waiting to finish the set sand and buff to put them on. Man it feels good to have the car with the stickers and badges now.

But I am already paranoid about theft.

Here are some pictures of the process, still need to take some of it totally put back together.










I made myself a blue carbon/kevlar spark plug cover, not sure if I like it yet. I have gone through 3 different spark plug covers this year(yellow carbon/kevlar, 6k 2X2 twill, 3k 4X4 twill). Can't decide which one I like.



After the buffing






Stickers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






More pictures coming soon, the car is the cleanest I think it has ever been and even better from the factory.

Next is Mag blue wheels, I already bought the paint and and taking the stock rims to my spray booth with me this week

enjoy

 

That looks great. Looking foward to seeing it complete. I hope you plan on putting the spoilier back on.

 

Yeah it's already back on, just forgot the camera today.

 

97's!

looks great.

 

looks great aside from the JDM front...

 

Looks great even with the JDM front...

 

just a small question: how do you know if you put the stickers back in the right spots as before they were taken off?

 

The sticker itself is its own template

 

 

Looks good. Let's see more!

 

Fresh CW is so yum!! Looks like a great job Glad she's gonna be back on the road.

 

I agree looks great, I know how much a pain it is putting those stickers back on

 

New paint looks awesome!

 

Look carefully at my pictures you can see the templates and how they line up

 

Now do the wheels.

 

looks good man.

 

more pics!

 

#40 is happy to see #54 back!

 

clean!!..GL with the ITR

 

I thought the 97 ITR was 4 lug? Something like 4x113? Did you convert or am I trippin?

 

Nope. No USDM ITR came in 4 lug.. Only JDM models, and it's 4x114.3 that you're looking for.

 

Wow thanks got clearing that up! I learn something new everyday
