If it's just the TRD badge, and done in a place where it doesn't look cluttered... I'd say it would be ok.

(I know you stated you have the strut bar, get the air intake too!)

I don't really know if I believe in rice or not. The thing is, rice is in the eye of the beholder. To anyone who owns a muscle car, we would probably all be classified as rice to them. I put stickers on my car, but I like it. If someone thinks that it is stupid, then bring on the rice. I actually considered buying a bag of rice and dispersing it around my car, that way I could go to a car show and pop my hood, only to have a bunch of actual rice fall out. I think that would be funny.

So long as something in/on the car is TRD (Shift knob, oil filter, supercharger, something!!!) then you can get away with it!

Rice for me is a crapload of body kits, wings & spoilers done with no taste. Huge tacky rear deck spoilers & huge muffler tips for all show & no go. Thats rice to me. Heck even the 2011 Mustang GT looks better without the rear wing.
