So what do you guys think?? I really didnt like the Mazda Emblem, so i took off but i had to fill in the 3 holes... soooooooooooo I decided to move the Rx-8 from the right over to the left...

Does it look alright?? :Eyecrazy:

Looks fine, did this avoid having to fill the holes?

Interesting. I wonder how it would look if you took the Mazda logo off and put the "rx8" there...hmmmm

I was thinking of that.. but i would still have the 3 holes where the 'mazda' emblem was located.

the whale tale will have to remain i guess..

fishing line, with a little coat of wax on it, and then i used bug/tar remover to remove the gummy/sticky residue.

it was the only way i could place the emblem and cover up the 3 odd holes.

I see. So you were able to attach the RX-8 emblem just like that, or did you use something sticky? Yea, stupid question.

Your exhaust pipes need cleaning btw =P

lol yea i know.. that stock exhaust pipe is hard to clean ! lol

no i had an extra emblem in the glove box when i bought the car. :) thought i would use it.

Bug and Tar removal was made for cars, so i know that's ok. but be careful with GOO-GONe, i heard that can eat away at the clear coat.

Yes, That's great. The mazda label is the same on every Mazda model, so thats not for me.
My first idea was the same as yours, but I did this (pic), instead of that.

Guys i think relocating the RX-8 badge is an awesome idea.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side anyway. Why not :lol:

Funny, Truemagellen and I were talking about relocating that last night :D:

Looks good I remember a while back pulling the Mazda badge off and being bummed that it had holes behind it. If they use double sided tape on RX-8 why can't they with the Mazda logos?

I shaved the pins on the front emblem and using moulding tape before reapplying it. Wanted to have the option of taking it off without filling holes.

They should properly market the car and people wouldn't have to ask. And then tell me that they have never heard of it, "Did it just come out?"

If a person put HEMI on the back most would think it is a some SRT :lol:

A Ford emblem and some would think it is the new Mustang

Chevy and they will think it is the :Wconfused

I had a guy pop his head out the drive through window and look up and down the car and say, "Wow! Is that the new Mustang?!" :naughty:

If they don't know what the car is, tell them it's the first ever Rolls-Royce sports car.

Chassis code for the RX-8. If you look at some of the online part shops that list the RX-8 you will usually see in parenthises (SE3P).

Bob

P.S. Just ask a RX-7 owner what his car is?
