Hey guys, can anyone use photoshop to remove the front mazda emblem and just replace it with red paint? Just curious how the car would look without it.

Looks a lot better. I truly hate emblems on cars.

Thanks leesha!

I think it looks better with it... Dont like de-badged look.

I've asked a lot of friends and the opinions are just about split. I don't know...I may just want something different. I'd prefer a whole new autobahn bumper but I got no monies =(

So the de-badged boys get no love

I think I'm gonna go debadged. Looks cleaner. I want the car's identity to be more 'mine' than Mazda's.

yeah. i wanted to debadge the car, but it costs money. so i was thinking of using touchup paint to paint over the emblems.

Raptor2k

I'm having my bumper repaired and they're going to need to take off the emblem and sand under it apparently. So I don't need it to be put back on.

I'm not sure if touch-up paint will be enough, you'll definitely need to sand and buff at least.

IIRC there are lil holes the emblem slip in to. I will def have mine removed when i get my front bumber painted and clear bra'd. I will prob do the rear too. i want people to guess what im driving (many alrerady seem to have a hard time figuring the M stands for mazda and the MAZDA means its a mazda vehicle lol)

I kinda like it either way... one thing that bothers me (if I remember correctly) is that the refreshed design has an indentation on the front bumper around where the emblem would go... so de-badging it would look terrible imo.

removing the badge have any improvement on HP?

Leesha

No indent under mine...just tiny holes...
