hey now that scheme is under kenchan copyright.

What can I say... I'm a procrastinator

I've got the piece to make it, but I was originally looking at replacing the shift boot and put it off. Also, there's not really a gap because the desert eagle shift knob is so tall and I have it screwed down pretty much all the way. I'm ok with how it looks now, but I'll probably do it on whim sometime down the road when I want a little change. I've got the DIY printed out and organized in a binder

light color wheels... (never mind my camera bag in the background.

I like the nismo wheels

and I'm usually a fan of darker wheels. I think the difference in the lighting in the two pictures is throwing me off a little - I want to see the darker wheels in a little more light.

Jay at EVOR says he speed tested them but I don't really trust his word after the whole Z emblem fiasco. I'll probably pull the trigger if the reviews come back great.

I really don't think it was that big of a fiasco. Yea, it was irritating that he thought the original black backing would be acceptable, but he found a solution and provided a free replacement to those who needed it. I'm inclined to give a forum sponsor a little more leniency, and I understand that stuff happens, especially when its a new products being released to the masses

I"m about to order a set but he's going to leave the backing white so I can paint it, and not attach it to the emblem so I can send the emblems off to get black chrome finish.

With regard to just the Z badge emblems, if Simota says the emblems are quality I'm inclined to believe him. I'm not sure they've got anything else I really want. Do you have specific experience with poor quality from them before? Either way, I'm sure you have your reasons

Yes, I purchased B-Pillars from them and received them with a manufacturers defect. I tried resolving the situation with Jay at EVO-R to no avail. I tried via email, PM on this forum, even with pictures in his threads... no response.

I had to open a dispute with PayPal to get a refund. I was still out money shipping the product back.

My experience, along with what I've seen others go through on this forum with EVO-R tells me not to send him money.

Fair enough. I'm hoping I've let the dust settle enough that the transaction can proceed smoothly. Hate to hear that you had those problems and sucks that you couldn't get it resolved
