Got some rare badges :)
Figured I'd post a pic of my latest find. Now if only he still had the gauge cluster from this car... oh well, the search continues! Oh and sorry for just having one pic, my phone decided to eat my sd card and this is all I have at the moment lol.

Sorry, should have posted some more detail. These are from the JDM only 12a turbo cars. All first gens in Japan (and elsewhere in the world) have the SA vin, the 12a turbo cars were 83-85. This particular set came off an 84 GT-X (which is the midle of the road trim level from what I understand) that was being parted out in England. From what I could tell, the car was imported to the UK back in the 90's at some point and had a TWR body kit on it (increcibly rare) it was in poor shape and rusting to pieces, thats why he was parting it. Unfortunatly I found the ad too late to get the gauge cluster as well.
The two smaller badges go on the B pillar like the various US spec limited editions we have (79 LE, 80 Anniversary X and 83 LE) while the GT-X badge goes on the back where our S3 GS/GSL/GSL-SE badge would go, and the large Rotary Turbo badge goes right next to the GT-X bage.
To have the entire set would also require getting the front bumper which had a large "Rotary Turbo" sticker on it under the rub molding, but that was gone already, and shipping from the UK would have added too much to an already high price tag
