Out of curiosity, how much did your 98 ITR sell for?

Nice work so far! I'll be following your progress. I have almost identical plans for my '08 Jerez E90.
Full paint correction + ceramic coating completed a couple weeks ago. Replaced the crumbling upper windshield trim, faded stripes on trunk M logo, new OEM floor mats, detailed the engine bay. Next up is OEM steering wheel (current has some light peeling that drives me insane), shift knob (bubbles in domed shift pattern emblem) and wheels (minor curb rash from PO). Trying to decide whether to stick true to stock and refinish or replace the 220's or go with 359's. I think silver 359s are the best looking wheel you can put on a Jerez M3, but I also like the idea of staying true to the cars original equipment. |

Have you priced a new OEM steering wheel yet? I think I'm going to try leatherique and see how it looks. I have no tears or rips just the faded M threading and a little shine to the leather.

359's no question! The 220's are okay but it's 359 > 219m > 220s IMO

100% agree the 220m's look far better in person than in photos.

When I had my WRX, I'd scoff at subie owners who plastered STI trim pieces all over their base WRX's (or even worse, base Imprezas), but that's mostly because the STI was nearly an entirely different car. |

Honestly, 359 is the only noticeable visual difference (if not compared to a regular one for height) for ZCP which kinda sucks as rims are so easily changed nowadays. But.. I get it. Purists

Finished the polishing today. We're still going to attack with a black pad in certain areas but damn! I'm impressed.

Thanks man. Good thing this isn't a daily driver because I'd be pissed to have it get wrecked again.

Today's Pickup
Happy New Year owners. I made my way to FCP to scoop up some parts to install on my day off tomorrow.
These LCI repair kits are a really cool way to freshen up the rear of your sedan. I have the notorious tail lower lamp out error code so I looked into replacement bulbs only to find out it's non serviceable. Not a bad choice way to spend $120 on a rejuve. Now that the paint is corrected and ready to be coated I thought it was time to install new badging.

I have the same car but in a 6speed. I'd like to replace my LCI tails because the province it originated from came with numbers etched in it. Unfortunately its also on the windows and headlights too. I like your style. With the rejuve is there anything you can do aftermarket/mods?

Don't get me wrong, the exhaust note was the only thing I would like to increase but I'm not willing to mess with the car for it. The market on these cars is on the rise and soon, the low mile virgin cars in good shape will be worth the money and the modded cars will lay by the wayside. Same with every car that becomes a collectible. My last 3 cars I've been lucky enough to own for a bit, refuvenate and enjoy, then get all my money back and some.

i respect all the different ways we like to enjoy these vehicles... for me, that means rigorous maintenance, putting tons of miles on it, thrashing it at the track and eventually totaling it or selling it cheap ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I totally get it. This is why I didn't want to get a ZCP as I knew I would modify the suspension and rims. I truly value your purist view as that will be the timeless view of the car in the future.
