So what do you guys think?? I really didnt like the Mazda Emblem, so i took off but i had to fill in the 3 holes... soooooooooooo I decided to move the Rx-8 from the right over to the left...

Does it look alright?? :Eyecrazy:

salituro64 08-09-2006 11:01 PM

Looks fine, did this avoid having to fill the holes?

How will people know to sing the 'zoom, zoom, zoom' song when you drive by?

XDEEDUBBX 08-09-2006 11:11 PM

that looks weird but it is different

tiggerlee 08-09-2006 11:11 PM

Interesting. I wonder how it would look if you took the Mazda logo off and put the "rx8" there...hmmmm

I was thinking of that.. but i would still have the 3 holes where the 'mazda' emblem was located.

the whale tale will have to remain i guess..

I like the 'WTF kinda car is that?" effect better..

"Rrrrrr Xxxx Whaaaa?? huh?"


" or that is one weird ferrari you have there... or is that a mazzzzdaratti?"

I LIKE IT

i'm imagining there were no holes covering the old RX-8 emblem?

Raptor2k 08-10-2006 12:51 AM

Hmmm

How'd you take it off?

NgoRX8 08-10-2006 12:57 AM

looks a lil weird. think it's too far to the left.

fishing line, with a little coat of wax on it, and then i used bug/tar remover to remove the gummy/sticky residue.

it was the only way i could place the emblem and cover up the 3 odd holes.

Raptor2k 08-10-2006 01:23 AM

I see. So you were able to attach the RX-8 emblem just like that, or did you use something sticky? Yea, stupid question.

Your exhaust pipes need cleaning btw =P

Crazy Rx-8 Driver 08-10-2006 01:30 AM

lol yea i know.. that stock exhaust pipe is hard to clean ! lol

no i had an extra emblem in the glove box when i bought the car. :) thought i would use it.

Razz1 08-10-2006 01:36 AM

Looks ok, except I can't see your license.

Do you drive that thing in winter?

swoope 08-10-2006 01:48 AM

Bug and Tar removal was made for cars, so i know that's ok. but be careful with GOO-GONe, i heard that can eat away at the clear coat.

Yes, That's great. The mazda label is the same on every Mazda model, so thats not for me.
My first idea was the same as yours, but I did this (pic), instead of that.

DrDiaboloco 08-11-2006 10:11 AM

Nice Prius in the background. :)

takahashi 08-12-2006 05:06 AM

Guys i think relocating the RX-8 badge is an awesome idea.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side anyway. Why not :lol:

BoosTED 08-12-2006 07:46 AM

Funny, Truemagellen and I were talking about relocating that last night :D:

Looks good I remember a while back pulling the Mazda badge off and being bummed that it had holes behind it. If they use double sided tape on RX-8 why can't they with the Mazda logos?

I shaved the pins on the front emblem and using moulding tape before reapplying it. Wanted to have the option of taking it off without filling holes.

Easy_E1 08-12-2006 08:32 AM

Looks good to me.

They should properly market the car and people wouldn't have to ask. And then tell me that they have never heard of it, "Did it just come out?"
