RX8 Re-Badge

I bought a RX8 07 and the owners before me spray painted the emblems, I wanted the chrome, So I was wondering if anyone can give me links to all 4 Emblems,
I need Both Rear and Hood Mazda Symbol, I need Trunk M-A-Z-D-A Emblem and I need the RX8 Emblem.

Or is it possible the Dealer can re-badge it? I'm taking it to them this weekend

I think this is what you're looking for:

https://www.mazdatrix.com/8emblems.htm

The dealer will charge an arm and a leg. It's easier to do it yourself. Get some clear fishing line, a hair dryer, and a six pack of beer. Heat the emblem, use the fishing line to get between the body and the emblem. Slowly move the line back and forth, like you're sawing wood. You'll cut the glue and your old emblems will pop right off. You might be able to sell the painted ones here or on eBay. Some folks like different stuff.

Best of luck!

What about Debadging? What can I do to cover the holes? I heard Bondo works but something about the Color not matching

The only way to do it right is to weld and grind the holes, then have the part professionally repainted. Bondo does not adhere to holes very well unless you build up a foundation of it on both sides of the part. Even then, it is the ghetto way to go about it.
