I've got a "turbocharged" from a Thunderbird Turbocoupe emblem with 2-sided tape already put on. I might be willing to part with it for something rotary in nature. Might look nice on the dash or something, probably not great on the outside, not on an RX-7 anyway.

Nope "keep it safe keep it hidden" <- sorry man lord of the rings but no man no sticker let fools run up on you thinking you have some ricer car and spank them like a stealing two year old....my opinion i hate stickers and that just gives people the chance to talk trash about your car when you have all that sticker crap all over it even if the stickers look organized and show car quality

Here's my take on it -
*EVERY* 2nd gen Eclipse with any sort of mods or whatever around town here has the "RS", "GS", "GS-T" or "GS-X" badges removed. IMHO, it's dumb - it's VERY obvious if the car has a turbo or is NA, especially when you hear the blowoff from a mile away
.
When I had my old '87 Turbo, I was proud as hell of the TurboII badges on the side. I was proud to have one killer, turbocharged motor under the hood, and it was a great way to show that pride off. Hell, I wish the 10th Anniversary in some manner had a "turbo" badge, but I'm definitely not putting one on!
In Aaron's case, after all the blood, sweat, and tears he went through to put that turbo on, I think some "TurboII" badges on the fenders, like stock, would be tasteful.
I don't get the "sleeper" idea - I can't tell you how many times people have said how sweet it would be to have a plain-jane looking car that would blow the doors off of anyone. I could make a Yugo run 12's in the quarter, but every time you dust somebody they'd think, "man, what a piece of crap, even though it's fast". Sleeper to me is almost an excuse to have a car fast at the expense of class or aesthetics.

Sleepers are nice, but I want to lose my badges and stickers FOR aesthetic reasons. I don't like the look of stickers and dealer installed pinstriping and rare two tone options. That little tacky crud really dates and detracts from our cars that have such simple and beautiful lines from the factory. Only my opinion.
My huge "honda GT" sticker on my '72 N600 sedan does come in handy though. People always ask if it is an Austin Mini or what it is and now I can just point at the 8" tall letters...
