well, in my opinion, i wouldn't put it on there. the only reason is so that anyone who knows rx7's won't know that you have more power under the hood. they will still probably think that you have the good ol' 12a in there, and wanna race
but you could put it on if you want. makes sense to.

Well, I wouldnt put it on either. Just because its not a GSL-SE. Like all those damn ricers that put VTEC all over everything. Who are they trying to impress? Anyone who knows anything about Hondas, like the other ricers theyre trying to impress would know that your damn Honda Civic EX doesnt have a VTEC engine in it (and probably never will), and anyone who doesnt know **** about Hondas wouldnt know what VTEC engine is and probably couldnt care less, so whats the point?

the car might as well be a gls-se. it already was a gls, now it has the 13B re-egi, it already had the rear-end and disk brakes. the only thing that makes it not a gls-se is the vin number.

It's gsl and gsl-se. I'm with what rotormotordriver said though. Real 7 owners are going to know it's not really a gsl-se and other people just aren't going to care.

Yeah, if you want a badge on the back, just go for that nice "Rotary Engine" badge in Victoria British

That way, people won't know what kinda Rx7 you're driving until you beat their 12a *** down to the next light

Well, it sounds to me like youre sold on the idea already, so why are you trying to talk us into it? Just do it if it will make you happy .

Why the **** would you want to do that? If you do just don't ever advertise it for sale as a GSL-SE. That's almost as bad as people here who advertise RX spec Capella's and 808's as genuine Rx-2's and 3's.

I don't think you should do it. I agree with RotorMotorDriver as well.

That is just not cool. The car is a modified GSL. It is great that you have put the time effort and money into it, but the car is not a GSL-SE, plain and simple.

I perfer the de-badged look myself. If they don't know what it is, why should I help them figure it out. (That also goes for the Rx-7 badges, and Mazda badges)

But I'm of the following that if it didn't come from the factory with the badge, nothing you do should permit you to "upgrade" badges. My 85 GS w/13BT will always be a GS, even if everything on it is not.

Do you have the GSL-SE front struts? How about the GSL-SE rearend? Ditto the GSL-SE tranny.
You know where I'm going with this.
