jus a photoshop job....what do you think???
 

just thinking about debadging and decided to take it up with photoshop before doing anything rash. What do you think?????? :uhh:

I don't think it makes your car look any better or worse. It just makes people at a stop light stare at your rear and say, "What kinda car is that?" If you like the mystic and you have extra cash to burn, go for it.

You should photoshop that bodykit off. But I guess the debadging looks okay. Something is missing though.

Debadging is cool. I guess I never really saw the point in it though.

The point is you reduce weight. :)

I like the whole de-badged look on some cars for sure especially if there aren't many of that particular car around.

For example, I have a old 5th Gen Celica that I removed the badges from when I had it painted (left the Toyota logo but removed the "Toyota, Celica and GT" badges from it and noone ever has a clue what it is... (not because its some expensive car or anything, but simply because noone around here really has one)

I get people everywhere asking me what it is all the time, I like the idea of having something that people don't recognize, then again alot of people asked me what it was even when the badges were still on it. :)

HAAHAA!!

Have you ever seen a Honda with a bodykit that looks like a plastic shell was placed over the car? I mean huge plastic hangovers beside the wheels. That's what this RX8 looks like. If that is the look you want, you've got it.

Debadging, I think, gives an $8,000 look for this $31,000 car. When you see a debadged "Viper" it means it is just a wannabe-Viper bodykit.

debadge looks cool IMO. yes i did it. haha.

veilside rear looks messy IMO. yes i don't have it. :rofl:

But its funny i think to go with pieces from differing kits. Quality could be different and kit height could be different. I played it safe and i love the looks. I do have some issues with the back but hey its on and its staying as far as im concerned..... TOO much money :mdrmed:

thanks all for the comments .....Looks like its a big negative so far

i took the badges off last summer and love the look

i think debaging is overrated... i painted my emblems black cuz i like the contrast.... but thats imo...

Let me se your emblems painted black please.

Art, i think i saw you this weekend.

on I4 headed into Otown.

and im actually glad i did, going with VS, but since i saw your rear (car, not body :) ) having second thoughts.

def doing the front bumper, rear will have to be given consideration

I don't mind debadging the "Mazda" and "RX-8", but leaving the Flying M. Everything looks so cluttered back there with all three emblems. Debadging these 2 emblems would clean it up nicely.

Tru Dat^

man, you need some rims bad..

^haha

hook me up with some then.....xdeedubbx. If i need them that badly

hahahaha, no offense but i think rims should always come before body kits. It just looks way too incomplete. But things like this take time unless you have deep pockets. =)

And that, my friends, tells you all you need to know about de-badging.

yah i agree with xdeed, i tend to go supension>rims>engine mods>then body

THE best solution
 

I don't like it completely debadged, so I took off the "Mazda" from the left side, and the "Flying M" from the middle. I MOVED the "RX-8" to the center of the trunk, under the break light. It looks awesome! I'll try to take a pic when I can.

Upside - moving the RX-8 to the middle covers the 2 holes from the Flying M if you position it correctly. I still have to get the 3 holes from Mazda filled in though...

Wait a sec, is that a Type R sticker on your car!? :Freak_ani :Eyecrazy:
