View Full Version : Relocated RX-8 Emblem over MAZDA emblem.
Crazy Rx-8 Driver 08-09-2006, 11:55 PM 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:
salituro64 08-10-2006, 12:01 AM Looks fine, did this avoid having to fill the holes?
saturn 08-10-2006, 12:08 AM How will people know to sing the 'zoom, zoom, zoom' song when you drive by?
XDEEDUBBX 08-10-2006, 12:11 AM that looks weird but it is different
tiggerlee 08-10-2006, 12:11 AM Interesting. I wonder how it would look if you took the Mazda logo off and put the "rx8" there...hmmmm

Yup
Crazy Rx-8 Driver 08-10-2006, 12:18 AM 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..

I like the 'WTF kinda car is that?" effect better..
"Rrrrrr Xxxx Whaaaa?? huh?"
" or that is one weird ferrari you have there... or is that a mazzzzdaratti?"
BigOLundh 08-10-2006, 01:42 AM I LIKE IT
i'm imagining there were no holes covering the old RX-8 emblem?
Raptor2k 08-10-2006, 01:51 AM Hmmm
How'd you take it off?
NgoRX8 08-10-2006, 01:57 AM looks a lil weird. think it's too far to the left.
Crazy Rx-8 Driver 08-10-2006, 02:19 AM Hmmm
How'd you take it off?
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.
Raptor2k 08-10-2006, 02:23 AM 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
Crazy Rx-8 Driver 08-10-2006, 02:30 AM 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.
Razz1 08-10-2006, 02:36 AM Looks ok, except I can't see your license.
Do you drive that thing in winter?
swoope 08-10-2006, 02:48 AM looks good,
i am doing the same thing with some tone on tone action...

SiLVeRE8 08-10-2006, 05:26 AM it might look kool without the mazda emblem..... hmmmmmmmmm

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.
DrDiaboloco 08-11-2006, 11:11 AM Nice Prius in the background. :)
takahashi 08-12-2006, 06:06 AM Guys i think relocating the RX-8 badge is an awesome idea.
Your steering wheel is on the wrong side anyway. Why not :lol:
4 years to Supercharge 08-12-2006, 08:46 AM 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.
Easy_E1 08-12-2006, 09:32 AM Looks good to me.

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?"

yup, hot and fresh out of the oven! haha
midlifer 08-12-2006, 09:33 PM I know. I have people ask me all the time what it is. Can't see why.

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:
GulfCoast 08-13-2006, 10:23 AM If they don't know what the car is, tell them it's the first ever Rolls-Royce sports car.

lol. or some italian sports car that is not ferrari.
I've been told my car was a lotus, no ifs and or buts about it hehe... the guy didnt know I owned the car, we were just striking up a conversation and he was like.. that lotus looks nice.... no its a mustang... no it's definately a lotus....yup :hahano: :Eyecrazy:
kevsRX8 08-18-2006, 11:54 PM Okay midlifer what is SE3P? Its killing me.
midlifer 08-19-2006, 12:00 AM 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?
tiggerlee 08-19-2006, 12:00 AM ^chassis code. RX8=SE3P
Wankel1 08-19-2006, 12:27 AM Im thinking about taking the Mazda logo,and have it replaced by a smaller one like the ones on Proteges.
rx808boi 08-30-2006, 08:11 PM now this my version of relocating the emblem :D:

Bingo...that's what I'd like to do.
4 years to Supercharge 08-31-2006, 01:00 AM ^ does tiggerlee mean in the center of the trunk lid?
That might work but that part of the trunk has some curve to it. :dunno:
Rootski 08-31-2006, 10:26 AM How will people know to sing the 'zoom, zoom, zoom' song when you drive by?
They'll know.

DOMINION 09-29-2007, 02:00 PM Whats wrong with that?
altspace 09-29-2007, 05:27 PM It's different, but I like the balance of the 3 emblems.
champi0n 09-29-2007, 06:37 PM looks off balance, u should put "Mazda" on the right side.
Raptor2k 09-29-2007, 06:44 PM lol this thread is a year old, and the OP traded in his 8 months ago. Not sure what Eddy's doing...
Raptor2k 09-29-2007, 07:24 PM Oh nvm, Crazy bought his 8 back. Cool.
RoXanneBlack8 09-29-2007, 08:36 PM now this my version of relocating the emblem :D:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c57/azn808racerboi/msrx8.jpg (http://www.photobucket.com)
no, thats MY version of rice.
u dont have a MS8 so dont badge it as such.
why move badges around, put the rx8 badge on the mazda logo?
just debadge the whole thing, its clean as hell, stop being a cheapass
Keldon 11-02-2011, 01:19 AM I like it better this way even though it is a little closer to the left side than I would have liked but being the holes were where they were my options were limited. Yes my car needs washed.
altspace 11-02-2011, 07:41 AM Holy thread bump!
lepichichi 11-02-2011, 12:28 PM why not just get rid of the emblems?? it looks better
Hesselrode 11-02-2011, 01:48 PM I am wanting to go shaved all the way. Handles and all!!
Hesselrode 11-02-2011, 01:50 PM Is there holes under the "M" on the trunk?
Tamas 11-02-2011, 02:07 PM yes
philipchan 11-02-2011, 03:37 PM my 8 used to look exactly like your before, lol...OEM lip kit OEM spoiler with the dark chrome wheels, lol

Hesselrode 11-02-2011, 03:43 PM Well, actually I think it is your car that I have for my background on my iphone.. LOL.. that picture on the far bottom right hand corner of your signature.. to be exact.. thats kinda funny. I saw your car in the pics of 7stock also..
