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:

you probably shouldnt base your decision on other peoples' opinions. if you like the look, let the debadging begin.

lol , i forgot who posted somone having a Mugen Sticker on a white 8. i wonder if the OP ever talked to the guy and told him that was wrong lol

First let me just say, everytime a Veilside kit is put on an 8, baby jesus sheds a tear...

As for what deedubb said, I agree that rims/suspension/performance should come before looks, but things are not always what they seem. I, for instance, have a vented hood and Tsunami front end, NOT because my first priority was looks, but because some douche ran into me and I HAD TO replace the front end and hood (and why keep it stock?)
Would I have rather put the money into stuts/sways - Exhaust/intake - Pullies and Flywheel - HELL YES. Peoples priorities change, so I wouldnt make much of a stink about him not having rims yet. Who knows, maybe his hand was forced like mine. Im sure he wants to see rims on his car more than you do :)
As for the debaging... your car is already black, how much more stealth do you really need to be? I think leaving the flying M as someone else said would look fine, but debaging the car completely, especially with such a drastic body kit, its seems as though your ashamed to be driving an RX8. If youre gunna debage ANYTHING, it should be those horrendous Veilside logos all over your car.

Why just de-badge? You should re-badge! A 350Z badge would add, like, 75WHP!



Seriously though, if you have to do something, this sounds best.

I removed the rx8, painted the "flying Ms" black on front and rear and the word mazda body color (titanium gray)
After some body work was scheduled to repair/repaint my trunk, i forked up the $75 to have them fill the holes and get rid of all the rear badging, but thats just me .. i like the way cars look with no badges, all nice n clean clean

It would look good if you smoked the taillights and the headlights and got a really aggressive carbon fiber spolier and hood. Then some nice rims. And finally if you have enough money left over, some performance mods to back up the aggressive look.

Oh, and fer gosh sakes, clear corners!

Seriously... a Type R decal!? :sadwavey::uhh::Wconfused :scratchhe :squint::icon_no2:

yea deedubb remembers my car back when it had a kit and no rims. those were the days. rims are a necessity.

yeah thanks for the input everyone i am a person motivated by great deals and this was a steal for the kit. But i like the relocation idea and i will give it a shot. As far as clears go there on the way and rims i would love to get but my pockets just arent that deep. I am 21 and am in school so its kind of whatever i can get at a good price goes on next. As for mR. is that a type R decal., no... no its not. Its a veilside racing decal of very high quality which i enjoy very much thank you.... Any more questions from morons who cant read? Beers

Don't forget an APC sticker. That would be so much better than a type R decal.

I meant no disrespect asshat. You have to admit, it does look kinda like one...my bad.:mdrmed::cwm27: I'm actually not gonna knock your kit either, I like the Veilside, done right it can be pretty sexy.

i retract my previous moronic accusation. I apologize,

As do I, :angel::mdrmed:

nice wing...FLYIN somewhere??

Hate to seem like I am bashing but you took a sexy car and made it look worse.

veilside is good at doing that :(. we need to :ylsuper: take them down.
