As for the emblems I usually get them from EVO-R. Everyone says buying from them is a crap shoot, but I've never missed a shipment and they are there at my place within 5-7 days max.

They aren't the Nissan Hamburger emblem, but there is the nice Black on Black Z emblems or the no back black Z emblem.

The 40th color code is KAV. It is very hard to match Pearl White, Monterey Blue, and the 40th color because they are all 3 step paints. You have to have a shop that really knows what they are doing with paint matching.

That's better than my experience. I cancelled 3 out of 4 orders with evo r for missing shipping estimates by months. Vendors here have had to cancel group buys of his products due to products never showing up. If you have to buy his stuff, buy it from the z store so you can get a refund. Evo r likes to string people along long enough for PayPal to close the case. Hell, he got banned as a vendor for a while for not shipping products and never refunding money. Buyer beware.

I know Jay has been sketchy in the past, but whatever they're doing in the last year has been working.
I also never order anything unless it says "in stock" from EVO-R, some of the same stuff you can get from Zstore and they are a lot more reliable, yes, they just don't have the same type of emblems options, from what I remember, as Evo-r does.

Thanks Birdman. I'm a short drive from Brooklyn so I plan on dropping my car off for a day or 2 to get the headlights done.

I'm not really a fan of the "Z" emblems. Wanted to keep it OEM looking with the Hamburgers, just a darker color. I might just bite the bullet and order the expensive ones from The Z Store.

Also, is KAV the 40th wheel color? That's what I'm looking to get my stock Rays powdercoated.
