The logo in question was a small generic "turbo" logo, probably available at any auto store. In roughly the same font as the "RX-7" logo, it would have fit perfectly underneath...But I think I will keep it quiet for now...The only hint is the FMIC, turbo noise, and of course that Apex'I BOV...

Well Aaron, if I were you I would make a Tina sticker and put it on there. When they ask you what it means just shrug your shoulders and tell 'em that you'll tell them IF they beat you. Hehe. That would be the bomb.
Sweet, Sweet, Tina Baby!

no turbo badging, but setup the brake lights so that when you blow by your victims a quick tap on the brakes will quickly illuminate the word "turbo" and leave them wondering... "did i just see the word turbo???" they may even try to catch up to you to get another glimpse at other tell tale signs of a turbo fc.

I think he should leave it sleeper, but that GXL -T sticker is a subtle way to let people know if they are paying attention.

i like the idea of modifying your small brake light to say "TURBO" when you hit the brakes at night..

so just like a little overlay then..

see how it looks

I kept mine off of the car after I re-painted it. That way I could fool a few unsuspecting victims into racing and they wouldn't know. Not the the damn hood scoop doesn't give a little hint. But hey, some people were dumb enough. But if it says TURBOII down the side....I think that they would have known right away. Keep it quiet.

Slap on a couple "GT-R" logos - the red and chrome ones. Saw them on a Pontiac Sunfire once...

I prefer the clean look. Did you see the s4 with the side moldings removed and filled?
The 2nd gens have good clean lines when unadorned.
When the time comes for body work - all my badges are coming off.

NO NO NO NO NO!
Your car is hella bad *** and already faster than alot of cars youll see on the street and most people dont really know about the RX-7

Leave em guess
Why your car is sooo damn fast is for you to know and them to test!!!

No Emblems for me
Besides MAZDA
