I kinda like it for the design factor, not because of any JDM thing. Like getting a tatoo of your name in Chinese script.

Hahahah. The hatch had been debaged back in its turbo days so it needed something. I love that old-school art deco looking V8 badge so that's what we got. Nowadays I see that very same badge on EVERYTHING. New Mustangs and trucks and whatnot

it's a little different when you can actually back up the claim....

my P5 has a mazdaspeed decal on it but I'm actually using mazdaspeed parts. If you have a V8 and you add a V8 badge thats one thing. But putting a japanese tag on a car in america seems off to me. Like people putting the union jacks on mini's....

Oh Matthew, Matthew...it's a novelty tag....lol.
So, if I install the J-Spec tails and swap the P5 badge to the Familia badge...will that be justification in your eyes as a valid reason to have the plate on my car at shows etc? I mean the tails & badges ARE from the Familia wagon after all...

Ha ha...I love toying with your emotions...har haaaaaaaaaar!

ha ha...like today I saw a Toyota Cavalier....YEAH!

But here's the odd part...Toyota DOES make the Cavi in Europe...I didn't believe my eyes, nor my ears...so I looked it up and lo and behold...

Toyota didn't make the cavalier to my knowledge.. I do know that Chevy made it and it was sold in Japan as the "Toyota Cavalier". Europe might be different though but I doubt it.

I got some mad tyte JDM dearlership stickerz!!

i guess it's just me but putting japanese stickers or badging on an american car and trying to pass it off as something it's not is kinda bad.... think every kid with a honda and a "type R" sticker....those were only in japan and europe...why pose?
i like my familia badge people actually think i had my car imported over here which in a way it was...lol

My Miata racer friend gave me authentic Mazdaspeed decals...he said it would be like feng shui for the P5 if properly placed. The thing is, I have retarded people come up and ask me if this is the Mazdaspeed turbo edition P5. I say, "do you see a turbo?"
