    Luckily I live in a comparatively free state. No law against headphones while driving here. Probably not the safest thing to do, but it's not illegal.

    Good eye. It says ITALIA in letters from a Nissan Altima. I don't really car for it, the letters look too modern to me. I hope to get car repainted some time in the not-too-distant future (quite a few rock chips and some scratches) and I will not put them back on.

    Here's a pic of the letters on the deck lid.



    By "too modern" I meant the font, not the fact that are there.

    A shame you're not closer, I would totally trade you for my red Mazdaspeed seats.

    Oh, those red MS seats! A guy I work with had those in the MSM he used to have. IIRC those seats are a little brighter red than the LE interior. Still might be close enough for me. I shipped my LE seats from here to TX for ~$60. Hmmm...

    I really like the "Italia" on the trunk, but agree that it is a bit too modern.

    Probably would be super easy to darken them a bit, as opposed to changing from black to red. You could make the drive down to Miatapalooza and we could exchange there. Lol.

    I like what you're doing here, Martin. Making it your own.

    Agreed. An Italia emblem from a Hudson may be more period correct.
