do you need to be pvp rank 40 to glamour the new pvp gears?

[Barboron]

I've been grinding out pvp in hopes that I can make something near a 40-50% win rate and hope that by the time I get the 4-600 matches needed I'll be rank 40...

You're a long way off. I am over 1000 matches with a 50% win rate and I am rank 34. Still a long way to go myself.
