hey i am new here and so far it has been awesome, anyways i was wondering about the rear emblems, specifically the mazda (lettering) and the rx8, do they have holes underneith them or is it just double sided tape... i would like a clean look to the car but i dont want to have holes, ya know, please let me know, thanks!!! :D

 

They all have holes except the RX8 badge.

 

really i thought that the two lettered ones would just be doudle sided tape, but i guess i was wrong, just the rx8 one huh, damn, well thanks

 

I wanted to debadge the rear end as well since it looked "too busy" with three badges in such close proximity to each other.

 

whats the easiest way of removing BOTH rear emblems??? i am getting the brake light mask and i have an awesome mazdaspeed emblem to cover the mazda logos holes, but i didnt want to ruin the paintor anything... if there is an easy way, please let me know, thanks :D

 

p.s. how many holes are there underneith the mazda (spelled out) badge?? 2 3 4 ???

 

If I remember correctly, I think there are 3 mounting posts?

 

well thank you nojooc, your help has been appreciated, glad you didnt give me a rude answer like someone else did!!!!!!
anyways thank you very much for your help!!!!! :D

 

correct

 

I would like to remove my Mazda emblem and replace it with Mazdaspeed.
Would the Mazdaspeed emblems fit prefectly (cover the holes..)

Thanks..

Anyone did it... with pictures?

here's some of my car:

is that a light in your bottom rotor emblem or just a reflector?

 

It's a fog light gambit. Not offered in the U.S. but standard in other countries. You can buy just the foglight or the entire wiring harness from 3rd party vendors and try to install yourself. A search on rear foglight will show lots of interesting variations people have went to get it installed. I got mine installed with another board member with the harness so all the "logic" regarding how it turns on and under what circumstances is retained. The only drawback, their is no console cluster indicator, but another savvy member routed his fog to to his "lighted" shift ****, so it glows when the rear fog is on....

 

If I wanted to pop the emblems out and paint them are they easy to pop back in or...not?

 

Looks like he painted the hubs and calipers and added an rx-8 stencil. Check the vendors forum I think Polak sells them.

 

He painted them himself using a decal to either outline the logo or as the logo.

 

I've seen discussion here on removing Mazda emblems however mine are all gold. I really like the gold with the brillian black cc. Does Mazdaspeed make a gold emblems?

 

Gold emblem --- only in America

Man it is ssooooo 90s, man. Go Charcoal Black, then no one can see it

 

Awwww c'mon tell me your not dissin' the USA.(I'm a blue in a state of red).

I'll have pics to post soon. Everone who has seen it has always notices the gold accents. I've only seen it on other '05 models on both black and white colors. "It gives it a unique look" I've been told. I hate to change it as I have come to really like it,but finding other gold accents to coordinate has been difficult. I was told by the delearship that Mazda will only make a certain number of these.

 

This what we did, we removed the mazda, filled the holes with silicon, no rust or water getting in... Then pasted the RX8 where the Mazda was. A little less busy

Liscensce is phony. Don't give us a hassle it was a joke.

 

The RX-8 looks like its on crooked.

 

I agree!

 

Post some pic tiggerlee...

I am going at the pics though the gaps between my fingers :D

 

the pic was taken at an angle.. so maybe thats y it''s crooked...

 

Yep - I did it
