Re-badge with something like Nash Rambler and freak people out since not many people recognize the car yet

 

Good eye. :D

How about now?

 

What if you put the rotary badge (like the Rx-7's had) I saw those one time. Do you think it would look good? And put them where the Mazda emblem is.

 

Do you have a picture of one? I can photoshop that on to the trunk lid.

 

I think some members here simply have too much free time!

 

I think that's a fair price for the work. If I knew someone up here that could do a professional job for that price, I would.

 

C'mon Wasy.........if you ever played with Adobe Photoshop, things like this take a minute or two. Heck, in the time it took you to write your post, I could have turned that RX-8 into a pink car. :p :D

 

do you have any pictures of what the rotary badge looks like?

 

Funny you should mention this... I currently own an '03 Mazda 6S (wife's car) and an '04 Mazda RX-8 (my car), but I seriously considered a G35 before I bought the '8. I ultimately went with the '8 because (a) the G35 is $5K more expensive for the way I wanted it, (b) there are TONS of problems with the G35, and (c) the nearest dealer is 50+ miles away from me, through totally F'd up city traffic almost the whole way there.

If you want more info on how bad the G35 can be, check out http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/Web...aMS.0@.ef0b872! And if you want to talk with an owner of the Mazdas, lemme know. :D

 

Well, no offense Omnicron, every car has there issues and dissatisfied customers. I looked at the link you provided and found complaints about the RX-8 as well. Things that seem to be commom are A/C issues, cars flooding & not starting, check engine light, MPG, and a few others. Heck, I can find bad information about any car but I don't always take that into consideration. There are thousands of satisfied owners who we never hear from.

Right now I have three cars. A 2003 Nissan Murano, 98 Pontiac GTP and a '94 Mitsubishi Galant. Now, the former, has been an AWESOME car to own in respect to "problems & issues". I've had my Galant since '95 and all I have done is your basic maintainence......oil change, tires, plugs, etc. This car now has 120,000 miles and runs much better than my Pontiac. At the time of purchase , everyone I know told me to buy an Accord or Camry that the Galant was a p.o.s. Well, this p.o.s. has never failed me.
:D

Point of all this babbling is, I buy cars that "I" like, not what I read on the internet. But thanks for the heads-up.

BTW, my kids are really digging all the RX-8 pictures I've been down loading. They seem to be picking the RX over the G.

Maybe I should just let them choose for me. :p

 

Well, just trying to help.

I didn't just decide not to go with the G35 "because of things I read on the internet" though. I did quite a bit of research AWAY from the internet, and concluded the car had a too high a chance of being a POS. Point being, I listed the link just to give you an idea that there is a lot of negativity from people who bought them, and thought you might like to know.

Ah well, just my 2 cents. Probably worth even less.

 

I disagree. Your comments are worth more than .02. :p


In my search for my next toy, any advice is much appreciated. :D

 

I have thought about debadging my wb 6mt as well. I want to take all the badges off the entire car and put the rx_8 badge on the back in the center where the Mazda emblem is now. Can you photoshop that?

 

Do you mean the Efini badges that are for sale here?

I really love that logo...I have it on my FD. However, I THINK they may be a bit small relative to the upside-down-pringles-guy logo Mazda uses now. So, in terms of scale, I'm not sure how it woudl look...

Edit: Fixed URL above

 

the link isnt working

 

My bad...its fixed now.

 

Any idea how much those Efini badges are?

 

They're $25 each, $35 for the "Efini" badge, at www.rx7store.net.

Thanks!

 

can someone photoshop these on there. I really want to get them. I would like to see the front, and rear with only efini and the RX-8 on there. Thanks.

 

How wide and how tall is the Mazda emblem that comes stock? I can measure the Efini badge on my car and compare. It seems to be smaller, so at the very least, the posts won't match the holes. Not an insurmountable problem of course, but a bit more effort.
