It breaks my heart to offer it up for sale, but I have moved to a house with no garage and I have nowhere to work on my baby.
I spent 2.5 years of blood, sweat, tears, and over $50k getting this car to where it is now. I have receipts. All labor is my own.
I fabricated so many custom things on this car that it's hard to keep track. Much of it isn't listed below, so just know that any time I saw something I didn't like with the kit, I custom fabricated something better. I welded a lot of things out of steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. I didn't use any of the FFR wiring materials, preferring instead to use high quality automotive grade wiring, connectors, etc. Please see first reply below for additional info that won't fit in this post

White gel coat - no paint. Got lucky with a nicely done gel coat from the factory. It's not perfect but as you can see from the pics, it looks quite good. A vinyl wrap would be an affordable way to customize the color and take it to the next-level if you desire.

Custom wiring harness built specifically for the 818 using OEM harness as a donor. Similar to what I-wire would build. No wads of wires crammed out of sight. All connections soldered and covered with dual-wall heat shrink (has heat-activated glue on the ends). ZERO wiring issues on this car. Fuse box is mounted under dash with fuses and relays accessible from under dash in passenger compartment
Remote starter solenoid mounted up near battery for added safety and to eliminate unfused hot wires running the length of the vehicle.

Doors open and close flawlessly with a feather touch. Alignment of body panels is as good as you can get. I took many months to get it right. I've put only 5,464 miles on it since building it. It has been very reliable. Runs 1:45 at Road Atlanta with me driving it and just a little more time playing with the suspension setup would get it into the low 1:40's, possibly high 1:30's.
