I dunno, it makes the front of the 8 look tooooo much more like a face. The picture looks like your 8 is chewing on gum or something...

This is the only other wide picture I have at this time. It really isn't that good, but it gives a nice view.

No, it's the rabbit's two front teeth. :D

I think it would look reall good on titanium or silver (maybe black)... doesnt work with the other colors though.

Is that the same one thats on the rear of the car?

RogueRX8, Yes it is the same badge. It comes in three parts. It goes on clean and comes off very clean. So the good thing is you can wear it for one month or week, then take it off for a while, then reaffix it. It takes me about 5 minutes, after the glue gun warms up.

i myself are one that hates badges. but that really doesn't look bad at all, except the fact that Mazda made everything else look like a rotor, so it would be kind of obvious of what it is. but its does look nice either way.

It looks great! Wish I could do that in Texas. I had to settle for the RX-8 plate frame instead...

The clear hot glue is working so well, I think it is permanent until I pull it off. Next clear day I'll post some picture using the hot glue.

I don't think it looks too bad, but I also would prefer it without the RX-8 badge simply because it makes the front busy, and because the model car tags are usually on the rear of the car.
