Ok friends - the gt4 is due back eventually ..
So next im gunna look at cleaning it up a bit on the outside - a bit of respraying here and there before the full sprayjob
Now - Dilemma is Decals/badges
Go totally clean/stealth
Go standard Gt4
Go Group A / RC ?
The last choice is for the following
I have group A motor built + ready to go in
Group A intercooler should have hit the shores monday - awaiitn confirmation after the containers unpacked
I have an St205 Group A gearbox on a truck awaiting pickup and install
I have A group A turbo + rear group A LSD already in the car
Car has a group A Nosecone - and Bonnet ( being readyed to go on in conjuction with intercooler
IS it worthy of Group A'ness in the same fashion Guys who GT badge their ta22's / RA28's etc when they bring them up to spec ?
Oppinions appreciated - Flames Ignored

Price up the badges (especially group A ones) from Toyota and I think you'll have the answer... I'm sure all of us can find better things to do with half a grand than buy heaps of little stickers etc.
Alternatively see if you can get them remade by the company that Toyota got to make them:
Rebel Graphics
Ph: 02 9525 0355
Stickers required for a full group a sticker set:
Group A Rallye x 3
Water To Air Intercooler
4WD Turbo x 2
GT-Four x 1
Refer to Toyota Motor Corp Australia Engineering Change E91/09-016 for full details 
Its good to have inside information sometimes isn't it

I would generally say de-badge.. but with such a common shape car im unsure.. people might just think its an SX kitted up...
its worth group A-ness if u wish to badge it so in my oppinion

it will have the toyota badge on the nose ( its on the group a bonnet - looks nice )
it will have Celica still between the tail lights
probabaly keep the toyota one on the back - juts take the AWD turbo ones odd the side and the crappy faded GT4 one off the hatch - thats gunna be fun :/
