The front bumper insignia is put on with an adhesive. It has two holes in the front bumper for alignment. The rear "Mazda" (word) is also held on with adhesive, no holes. The Mazda emblem on the trunk is on the same way as the front, with two holes. The RX8 emblem (3 pieces) is held on with adhesive only.

the "mazda" badge has three holes, the flying "M" has two holes, and the "rx8" is held on with double sided tape. so only the rx8 will come off without holes behind it

quick search came up with this


EDIT: This is what I found from search...Easy E1 says differently, and I would probably go with what he says

flying M badges leave holes. as does the mazda emblem.

The RX-8 emblem (the only one you'd want to leave on the car) can be removed without leaving holes.
