To stay Turbo 2 or not(decal wise)
I am getting my car painted and I am looking at either getting new TURBO II decals for the side, leaving them off the car, or getting the TURBO II name put in a different style text.
Don't say Porsche turbo decals there are at least 6 turbo civics running around with that style of text, and one very mean GSX that i know of that has it in the center tail.

Well I am going with either a RE spoiler or the Super style spoiler so my antena is already shaved(got a windshield whit the antenna built in it. Right now I am rocking GXL decals because they are the only fender i had laying around to fix my car after the wreck.

Either leave them off or replace with stock ones. I would vote to leave them off, it would clean up the car a little bit. Decals on the sides of cars just look tacky to me. Same reason my "OMG I GOTZ VTEC" stickers came off the side of my new Civic.

Idk, I kind of like it with the 'Turbo II' on the fenders. I was never a fan of debadged cars though (I'm actually rebadging my FC, lol). But to each their own.

I actually think it looks kinda boring debadged (on the sides at least) Especially on a non-kitted car, even more so w/ stock wheels. If the car has some kind of ground effects and/or a nice drop and a decent set of wheels it looks clean sans decals. Otherwise it just looks like something is missing.
The rear looks better w/o the plastic "Mazda" plate but the "RX-7" decal is pretty cool (assuming you keep the side decals)

I would say put them back on. The car looks too plain without them there. If you have an S4, definately take off the Mazda sticker in the front, and the Mazda RX-7 sticker in the back, and replace it with the S5 badge. I think that looks best.

What about all black with the RX-7 emblem on the back in white and on the bottom right above the rear bumper, have the "Rotary Turbo" decal. I've seen it around here before and think that would look pretty good.
Edit: Note to self... I just tried to look for pictures of it... Don't ever use the search function for the keywords "rotary turbo"

I've always like the look of bronze/gold wheels on black cars.
I'd consider getting a shop to re-make the stock "Turbo II" and rear "RX-7" decals in gold/bronze and leave all the rest off
