We have had trouble sourcing the 4, the reason being is that it's a number used only on a few vehicles so it doesn't make sense to make a bunch. I will look into this and see if we can have a batch done up.

How about what I did to my 2002 badge back in the day? After carefully removing the badge, I buffed it with fine steel wool and then spray painted it a satin black and then re-installed it. Looked great against the Chamonix white. This was my first mod until I installed a Kamei air dam, tii clutch and flywheel, Supersprint headers, 22/19 mm front/sway bars. Just a few mods '02 owners did a long time ago.

I got a CF set for a 550 on ebay. The auction was for a 530 but I just emailed the seller and asked. You should do the same
