Looks good, but I prefer the "RX-8" badge that goes there.

If you did a zoom zoom badge for the back in some stylish font then that would go but a decal sticker makes it look kinda cheap.

I have the zoom-zoom sticker on the bottom of my back window. It's red too, so it matches my 8's color. I like it, but sometimes it looks busy.

The mazda dealership I visited in St. Petersburg had "Zoom Zoom" stickers across the top of the rear window on all their rx-8's.

Needless to say that was the dealership that test drove in all their cars, and let the sales people take the cars home to get better used to what they were selling... so I didn't buy from them.

So I take it nobody is into it...damn.
I trust y'all's opinion, but it does kinda bum me out.
I did it because I was bored and knew I could reverse it or find another option.
Ultimately I would like to remove the Mazda badge aswell, but I don't really want to payto have the holes filled and painted...then again maybe I will.
The logo in the middle by itself would be cool though.
Wadda you think?

Back to the RX-8 badge, if I were to put it back on, what type of adhesive should I use (what did Mazda use?) and are there any tips (I searched already) on getting the placement perfect?
If it goes back on it needs to be right.

thanks.

Never said I'd put it on my car. I'm more of a sleeper/stealth look... Just thought people might enjoy the decals...

Your zoom sticker... I dunno. THat's kinda like putting "Ultimate Driving Machine" across the windsheild of your car. No need to advertise for them for free...

Nah, Zoom Zoom is more of subtle statement than "Ultimate Driving Machine", which would be ridiculous.

No dudes.. the reference was more like having a BMW and putting Ultimate Driving machine" on it is the same as having a RX-8 and putting "Zoom Zoom" on it. If you wouldn't do the first... then why do the second?

Of course the "Ultimate Driving Machine" reference was if it were a BMW, but I don't really think the two are comparable.

The Ultimate Driving Machine sounds like such a p pretentious statement in comparison to just "Zoom Zoom".

Little Devil,

Apparently ChuckRX-8 got half of what I meant.

What the hell does MY car have to do with it or ANY specific type of Mazda? This applies for all Mazdas and all BMWs.

Everyone knows that the BMW is "The Ultimate Driving Machine." That's their ad catch copy... it's used everywhere.

Everyone knows that Mazda's current ad catch copy is "Zoom Zoom."

No one is going to put a sticker on their BMW saying "The Ultimate Driving Machine." It's tacky as well as pretentious.

So why would you put a "Zoom Zoom" sticker on your MAZDA?

"Zoom Zoom" may be more subtle, make for a nice ad campaign and car company philosophy, but that doesn't make it a cool phrase to put on your car. It also doesn't make putting an ad campaign slogan on your car look cool... it's still tacky.

If you ever read a review of my car, you'd know how wrong your insult of my car is. It isn't a miata or an RX-8, but still handles damn well in 100% stock form. Do the same as everyone here does with their 8... coil-overs, lighter bigger rims with bigger rubber and this car can pull some nice numbers. It's underpowered, but many people complain about the same with the 8 and the miata. It's not all about power... if so why did you buy an 8?
