Well, seeing as no company ever made a KLZE MX-3, no one ever put anything 'official' to it. So, its your preference. I think GSR is lame, but I do like ZE MX-3.

GSR is an ol' skool name from back when they first did the 2.5 swaps. It does properly follow the RS-GS nomenclature.

There are a few threads about this:

I do like "GSR", but I've also been around for quite some time too...But I would never use it verbally.
I photoshopped a logo but I never got around to getting it made

Honda doesn't exclusively use the GSR badge, Mitsubishi uses it on the EVO. Both Japanese manufacturers

Yes stealthy like. We called them sleepers back in the day. You take an innocent looking car and put a modded engine in it. No one knows until they try to out accelerate you. I sold a friend a 65 Pontiac with a cracked 383cu.in. motor. 3 days later he's beside me on the street. He revs his engine and I tromp the gas pedal. He passes me like nothing, I say WTF. Turn out he had a 409cu.in. mill at home he swapped into it. We're talking 500hp here.

Heheh. Like a 383 stroker, or 454 in a 63 ChevyII. Better yet, the built 350 in my Chevy van, making Honda kids bewildered, and sad.

I like that design mike - it looks oem! I just refuse to put any badges on my cars... I've even started telling people that my car is a Eunos Presso since I have all the parts that make it so :mrgreen:

Indeed. That was the exact idea. I lost my stock badges in the repaint so I wanted to make new ones.

I literally took a picture of the GS badge and literally copied and pasted sections of the G and S to make about 80% of the R and I adjusted it from there....

I had some GSR decals on my car, they were reflective so they lit up at night.

But they didn't survive the sanding for the new paint. I was thinking about getting some new ones that say KLZE, but I kinda like the surprised/confused look on peoples faces.
