Other than that replace emblems/stickers and that thing will be mint

Rule of thumb on repainting a itr is go the with the "ORIGINAL" color But it honestly she looks really Clean. More pics would be great

I agree, should have gone with the original color, but its just a black ITR so its not that big of a deal!

Also, I would get some OEM amber signals up front, but that's just me.

You also shaved the rear window squirter on the roof?

I knew I would never hear the end of "why u shave that". I know, I know it's better to keep it original. But in reality I wanted it to be personalized in my own way. It makes me happy. If I really wanted to later I could covert it back to stock just as easy.

Thanks for the comments. Keep them comming

Hmm... from my internet diagnosis I can only suggest that you have a faulty hood release latch.

Car looks great! Aslong as your happy with it thats all that matters IMO, but thanks for sharing. Good to see another local itr owner. After having 2 py R stolen within 2 months of each other down here in SFL I'm happy to see another FL R.


Keep up the good work.

I have a friend in Orlando that did it for me. He did the all the jambs, inside doors and all the body work with wet sand and buff for $1450. He does good work. He's done 3 cars for me already and they turned out great.

I used to have a c/f hood but after seeing it dance at HWY speeds or passing a semi I drilled for hood pins. No more dancing hood.
