Got some boxes in and had to install them ASAP...
Bought the complete black and white emblem package as well as the ac replica pedals from JBSPEED. They got to my house in about 10 days. I was very satisfied with the quality of the pedals and roundels. I was expecting to have to take the wheels off to replace the caps, but was able to use a couple of small screwdrivers to get them off! The package came with the steering wheel emblem that fits perfectly over the existing emblem...very high quality too!
the pedals were pretty straightforward...like other peeps have said..it's easier to take the gas pedal out and just take your time drilling the holes.
the Z4 shifter was purchased from Garry. It is a great mod....significantly shorter throws but the shifter isn't bent so the pattern is shifted to the front of the car. I have long arms so I don't mind. This is my second shifter install and I did both from the inside of the car....took about 20 minutes...3/4 of the battle is getting the damn plastic shifter bearing off....In the end it was no match for my rotozip!!!
I got the full led light kit from brabusw209amg..those panels are bright!!
I bought a PC 7424 from milabfocker..He is a great seller..shipped quickly and through in some lagniappe(cajun for a little extra). now I'm trying to absorb all that I can about detailing before doing my first job....I'll try it out on my Landcruiser first. I'm gonna try Meguiars Swirlx and nxt wax first before i break the bank with the expensive stuff...
All the sellers were great...Fast shippers and very responsive to emails!
Thanks to all,
Will
PS..I didn't post pics b/c there wasn't anything y'all haven't seen before..I will post pre and post pics of my detail though!!

Damn Will! Sounds awesome. Next time you're visiting across the street, ring my bell if my car is there. I'd love to see the mods...

post pics now, or BAN! 
btw, how does the short shifter feel?
is it a shorter throw? or just height adjusted?
I'm looking for a short shifter kit that gives a "click" feeling when shifting.
