No, Filipe. I am actually the third owner. I bought it in 2000 from a guy in Indiana. It had 32,000 original miles then and it now has around 36,000! I actually tracked down the original owner and sent him an e-mail the other day. Would love to hear about when he bought the car, why he didn't have the stripes applied, etc.

Wow, that's pretty cool! The previous owner of my Z sent me an email about a month ago. Zs just make us stay in touch with new and previous owners, I love it.

Previous owner and I exchange Christmas cards every year, and call each other occasionally.

It's sort of like a family thing.

OK, everybody, where exactly does the "OK" decal go? Purchased this from Mike McGuiness of Bonzai, who supplies them to Motorsport. I believe it goes on the driver's side quarter window. But where exactly? Does anyone have a photo of an originally applied decal?

The Pre-Delivery Inspection Pass (OK Sticker) goes on the rear quarter light as you guess:

http://shop.jdm-car-parts.com/index.php ... h13kmn0k87

But there is no accompanying photo (he refers to a '3rd photo') and it might be different btwn LHD/RHD cars.

On this 510, it was mounted behind the passenger. Is that "factory stock"? I dunno.

Thanks Frank. Since "installation" is so easy, I think I will just survey some of the other cars in attendance at ZCON to see exactly where this decal is applied!
