I was wondering if anyone can suggest some shops in the Bay Area here (San Jose area) that will debadge my trunk. I think that is going to be my next mod, so for those who've had body work done, please give me some information of the place and number.

why? its really easy, the only difficult one is the mazda logo cause that one is set in by pins so just be carefull when pulling that one, so once pulled you will have to fill and repaint

Deuse, the Filling and Painting part is the hard part... That's part of the Debadging process. He doesn't mean that it's difficult to pull the emblem off, it's covering the holes that's hard.

HardHitter, I can send you to a guy in downtown SF if you want... will probably cost $450-500 to get the job done for both front and back emblems... I'm not giving a solid recommendation to the shop but if you're interested, let me know via PM...
