Evo VI TME JDM flares - anyone got one?

Let me tell you a story.
The other day I drove my beloved 300ZX into a tree. I called my buddy who has a VI TME, and he came and set off his flare to ensure I was safe. This upset him a little, because he treasures the OEM status of his car (to the extent that he spent $270AUD on replacing the gearknob with the OEM item).

I want to replace his flare.
Now I can get one from Ebay, and I figure they're all pretty much the same. But since I'm getting it to replace his OEM TME one, I figured I'd do it right.

Does anyone have a photo of their Evo flare so I can have a quick look? Does anyone have an actual JDM TME?
Or, does it look like this?

Why not just ask him where you can get the same one and explain the situation to him?

Well, it's sort of a surprise. He sure doesn't expect me to replace his flare, but it's the least I can do.

And anyway, he doesn't really know what it looks like. He obviously doesn't have it anymore, and probably didn't look at it too much before he had to use it.

I thought it'd be easy to find someone to take a quick snap and upload it, that's all

LOL. Reading the subject I thought you were referring to the flares on the rear guards.
Is this an Australian delivered TME?
I don't have an actual 'flare' in my JDM TME.
Maybe try EvoOz?

No it's JDM. You really don't have a flare? You must at least have the bracket though right?
EvoOz could be a good idea, thanks.

I don't even know where it's located. I've pulled my car to pieces before and never noticed one.

I have mine and I can take any pics you want to help ID one if that will help. Im on evooz too. The one you linked looks close but I think the evo caps are a little different.

Unless the TME came with some fancy special edition flare, its just a regular Japanese road flare. There are 2 sizes, a smaller one and a larger one.
Don't be scared to pay 7.50$ for them, they cost the same if not more here.

I don't mind paying a bit ($7.50 is nothing), it's just that nowhere online actually sends them to Australia :\
