Noticed it too. Mine's white though and I'd still go red.

Suggestion for you. If you go with the graphite stencil in the 40th Anniversary badge in red.

After thinking on it overnight, Ill probably just get them powder coated red if I choose to go with red. Really like the idea of adding red to the letters of the 40th emblem on the strut tower, thanks Axmea.

Also going to get smoked Nissan emblems for the front & rear bumpers and also paint the Nissan letters red. Just need to get some pinstripe paint and a good brush.

Picked up my Takeda intake today from the powder coater, only cost $60 and looks great. Installing this weekend, pics to come.

Stenciled?

I thought about doing the same thing for awhile, even had mine powdercoated black, before a changed my mind and went with 40th quartz. I plan on getting a few of the z1 silicone hoses in red to accent the brake/ interior.

Red for sure.

Finally got around to installing the CAI this weekend. Install was a breeze, just took my time and it turned out great. Next purchase is an Uprev tune to get it all working to its potential. Glad I went with red, now need to figure out what to do with the intake cover. Probably smoke the silver areas and the Nissan emblem. Fill in the Nissan logotype with red One Shot paint. Or I could paint the silver area with the 40th KAV color... Hmmm.

Looks good! I was thinking about powder coating them wrinkle red when I order mine.

Red was definitely the right choice compliments your brakes also

Thanks Staggered, thats one of the reasons I powder coated them red, plus the 40th color looks really good with a few strategically placed red accents.
