I believe my MKIV may be the best and most complete on the market. At least i tried to make it the best when I built it. I say I built it but with tongue in cheek. Mark Dougherty and Wayne Pressley did the real work. I am posting the build list and will try to post pics when I get home this evening. Not great at pics but will do my best.

Forte Pedals. AC.
Fast Freddie Lexan Windshield $450.
Finish Line Cobra emblems front, rear and steering wheel.
Full Simpson belts. Four point mounted with chrome brackets at rear bulkhead.
Russ Thompson turn signal and horn, trunk mod for extra space and gas pedal and throttle linkage.

Paint is Lexus Dark Blue Mica Pearl Metallic/Indigo Ink with white stripes. Professional paint by Wayne Pressley who mounted body and did all finish work.
Car was built by me with a “lot” of help and work by Mark Dougherty. So most of credit to Mark and Wayne.
Just about 4600 miles. No racing or autocrossing. Driven by a 72 year old. Starts in an instant.
Hands off driving at cruising (65).
Live in the deep South so mostly only gets used in the milder, not hot, months so it does not get used like it should.
There is nothing I would do differently with the exception of the door pocket which are velcroed and don’t really stay put. The rest was as good as I could make it. Stored in my climate-controlled garage Oil Mobil 1 and changed professionally.
I do not know of a more complete FFR MK IV available which was professionally built.
$48,500.
