I'm thinking of taking off the rear mazda and RX-8 badges. Which do you guys think looks better? Has anyone done this already?

i was kinda thinking about taking the "mazda" off, it looks kinda redundent with the logo and the name on the back, can you photochop that so we can see what it will look like

You mean like this? A bit imbalanced, IMHO

If you are going to de-badge then go all way, front and back!!! Since the commericial marketing campaign hasn't kicked in, no one has a clue what kind of car it is. If you de-badge it, you can tell them whatever you want, they'll believe it. ;) I've heard, oh that's the james bond car (people think it's a Vanquish (oh, please...).

I made some reference to this on my thread here:

i guess the total de-badge looks better, but for resale purposes i'll leave mine stock likely

I TOOK ALL OF MINE OFF... THE FRONT BADGE LEAVES BEHIND 3 POST HOLES. THE REAR "MAZDA" BADGE LEAVES 3 ALSO. THE REAR "FLYING M" LEAVES 2 HOLES, AND THE "RX-8" BADGE IS ACTUALLY 3 PIECES THAT COMES OFF CLEAN, NO HOLES! LOOX VERY CLEAN WHEN FILLED/FINISHED THOU.

possible other option, loose the 'mazda' and 'M', then move the rx-8 to the centre?
