Paint code is KAV and name is 40th Anniversary Graphite and wheels were painted the same color (40th Anniversary Graphite). It was a grey with some purple in it, I always liked that color!

First time I saw a 40th in real life, I felt in love with that color and the color scheme. It was first to get red calipers too.

I agree, I love the purple hue in the color!

I don't know if this applies to others, and I don't want to get owners of these cars angry - it's all subjective, but for me, I really didn't like the graphics added. Not a big fan of the stripes - yes I know there's a heritage there, but to me when it's added on like that it detracts from this beautiful car.... the beautiful shape. Makes it more Herbie the Love Bug as opposed to the gorgeous aggressive, flared and sleek machine it is.

When I was looking at new ones, my first thought was: how hard is it to take the graphics off..... but the interior "enhancements" didn't look great to me either.... splashes of color, but not enough, and in weird places - I think the red looks OK though....the yellow in the heritage...ugh...for the center console padding? What the???

But again...it's all subjective, so I know for some people it's probably the best thing ever.....

I just wanted one in pearl white or the dark blue....

I agree with the stripes….I been wanting to take them off but when I go to sell it, not sure how it’ll be valuable compared to it with the factory stripes.

It would lose all value as a special edition.

What if I got new ones and added them back correctly?

Yes. The people who would be interested in buying the car 10+ years down the road will more than likely want it to be as close to factory condition as possible. No factory stripes = just another Z. YMMV
