With Borlas and accent

 

Nice job!

 

Thanks - cya sometime soon

Thanks to you and brothervoodoo again for the rear accent




I couldn't get a pic - but I have DMenac7's 3rd brakelight mod so people don't ask me what car it is :D

 

Painting the emblems to match the car is definitely the way to go without having to shell out $$$ for a debadging job.

 

cgrx how much were the stock emblems? i did this to my civic and i was thinkin its the way to go with the rx8

looks awesome btw

 

I like the way that looks on the back, and I've got the 3rd brake light decal as well.

 

Around $40 for all 3. The "MAZDA" emblem has no glue on it - so I really didn't need to order that one. (easy to break a post on removal though)

Reordering is much better than trying to re-apply 3M tape.

 

Looks interesting, now a front rotary accent wold really shine and form a nice rotary triangle together with the two in the seats.

 

I'm workin on that

 

thanx cgrx... not to hijack ur thread on a titanium gray what u guys think black emblems or titanium emblems.

 

if you can get the color close - I'd go with tit

 

Can you just buy the Mazda color specific touch up paint, remove emblems, paint em and stick em back on? I dig the look of body colored emblems with the RX-8 brake light mod!

 

cgrx just wanted to commet the borla looks nice too for $40 i think its work to give both a try i will try the tit if it comes out fine then it will be tit otherwise black.. or how about orange (JK)!!!

 

those black emblems look good. They make the 8 look sleeker IMO

 

I would have preferred to get it debadged - its just too damn expensive !

 

Looks sweet. So how exactly did you do it? Did you sand them down first and what paint did you use? I may want to do this to my car...

 

I like it, good job cgrx!

 

I sanded them to rough them up. Then painted with a hi gloss paint.
If I were to do it again I would have primered and then used a clear coat. Especially on the front one due to rock chips. Mine are fine and it has been about 2 weeks (1,500+ miles) I don't see them lasting very long. Waiting for some colored or even carbon fiber emblems........Parker :D

 

i want debaged damit!!! i dont get the point of having the Mazda Emblem and the word Mazda!!! why mazda why!!!!

ima goto the daeler this week to get new emblems. and cgrx on that thought i am going to take my orignal emblems to a store to see if they can be done in CF or color matched plasted or something maybe a rotary symbol that would cover up the holes..

 

i thought all the emblems were held on by glue. which ones actually have a hole behind it if i were to remove em.

 

looks very sharp

I want to debadge though when i have the time

 

exactly how did you do that did you paint the emblems? with What if so...?

 

a few more
