wow great catch, just sent them a message to let them know!
I bet they went to great measures to center the "Toyota" with the bezel upside down. Now it's off center....

Is it supposed to be centered though? I just did a google image search for 1970s FJ40 and I think it’s either 50/50 or 60/40 with more grills having the Toyota not vertically centered. But now I realized my license plate isn’t centered. This is gonna be annoying.

The Toyota emblem is easily repositioned. The license plate holder isn't centered because of how the bumper holes are pre-drilled. It's normal.

It was one of the requirements I asked for when they were gonna build the car. I sent them pictures and told them I wanted the OEM rubber mats and they got them for me. No idea where from but the shop is located in Abu Dhabi.

So my Fj is finally back with me and running great. I originally got it back from the builder just before the summer but 2 days in the car stopped running. They took the car back to figure out the issue (turned out to be a bad alternator) and to fix a bunch of things I spotted and just finally got the car back a few days ago.
Just got back from a trip to the camel races and figured I'd post some pics here.

Yeah I'm really glad I went with it, the color looks pretty great on the roads and is pretty different to all the colors you see on cars nowadays.

You can scroll through my 55 build thread, I have taken pictures w/ other 55s that are allegedly Nebula Green. They all look different...I originally wanted to get my FJ40 painted Fashion Green but out of 5 paint shops locally (in Kuwait) and one in Abu Dhabi where my car is being built, only one had the color in their database and the sample I got from them was closer to a blue-grey than a green-grey. After giving up on Fashion Green I decided to go for Nebula Green which all six suppliers had available. But the 5 local suppliers that gave me samples all looked a lot darker than the green in the photos I found online. The Abu Dhabi based paint shop sent me a sample that actually looks similar to the online photos, but it's weird that 5 other suppliers all gave me a similar darker green and he gave me a much lighter one. I'm guessing he might have color-matched it to photos online and not to the actual paint code.
Can anyone help me out here? Does Nebula Green look brighter once on the car? Do the samples look correct? I'm so confused and only have once chance of getting this right

Congratulations! Beautiful 40. Make it the daily driver
The pic with the camels is classic.
The camel photo should be a poster. Wonderful build.
Late to the party but that's a Beaut! Quick question - so was that indeed the Nebula Green 622 paint code you ended up with? Could I trouble you for the paint codes for your bumpers and roof? I'm painting my 80 in that same color scheme (and hoping it comes out looking retro and not weird). Thanks!
