Thinking about putting a MAZDASPEED decal and the left side of boot lid and biturbo on the right because it sounds super cool.
thoughts? or maybe even where the OEM decal was

Ummm.... biturbo would be a lie, and hence rice?...

Save the money for suspension or something IMO :)

IMO, it looks much neater/cleaner with no badges or stickers.

I agree with Dan, Biturbo badge = rice mod

No, keep the green! Or go gloss black. Matt/satin black is overrated.

Change of plans someone saved me from making a mistake. I forgot that my car turbo and the black is going to keep a lot of heat, so probably keeping OEM
