In persuit of replicating the mazdaspeed a-spec touring kit for the mx-3 i have realized i will not pay crazy prices for some things and one of the pieces is the tuned by mazdaspeed badges found on factory tuned mx-3s offered in japan....the lowest price i had seen for one of these babys was 157 dollars :shock: that is insane so i found a ricey alternative that makes me and my pockets happy :D

Don't want to sound like a d--- but as far as the badge goes, I would feel like a dweeb putting anything on my car that wasn't true. However if I did, I'd go with the real article. I'll pass on the Uncle Bens :lol:

wow that sticker looks pretty cool... I guess if you could find a piece of thin metal to put it on it would look pretty close... You wouldn't have the embossed effect but it might be ok. Definately saves you some money!

"I use only ORACAL 651 the best renowned cast film in the industry. They can resist extreme heat, extreme climate & powerful jet wash for years without having color fallout."

FYI Oracal 651 is not a cast vinyl. It's a calendered vinyl and will not last as long as he claims. You'd be best to spray some clearcoat over it after you stick it on to keep the edges from coming up. Oracal 651 is designed to be removable.

It'll probably be fine at the back like that...out of the wind and stuff. Just keep an eye on it.

Maybe I should take a pic of mine with dimensions just so he can get it right. I think it's a good product, just too big.
