His emblem is missing.  Most of them are.  That particular one was only 
glued on an the glue fails.  Emblemagic used to offer it though I don't see 
it on their page anymore.  Probably worth an e-mail to them to see if they 
can still make one.  The emblem is not the same as the one on the rings.

Both are right.  At some point in the year they changed over to the one your 
friend has.  My car is a late production car and has the same one as his, my 
parts car is early production and has the other one.  They also changed the 
brakes and went back to 15" wheels mid production year along with a few 
other changes.
