Relocated RX-8 Emblem over MAZDA emblem.
 

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:

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?

that looks weird but it is different

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

Yup

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?

Hmmm

How'd you take it off?

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.

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

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.

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

Do you drive that thing in winter?

looks good,

i am doing the same thing with some tone on tone action...

dental floss it the ticket. w some goo gone....

beers :beer:

it might look kool without the mazda emblem..... hmmmmmmmmm

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.

Nice Prius in the background. :)

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

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

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.

Looks good to me.

probably MNAO could give a rats a....if we took off the "rx8" piece but they want us to keep the mazda on!! :spank:

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?"

yup, hot and fresh out of the oven! haha

I know. I have people ask me all the time what it is. Can't see why.

I know.....I get tired of people asking me....."what is that" :boring:

If a person put HEMI on the back most would think it is a some SRT :lol:

A Ford emblem and some would think it is the new Mustang

Chevy and they will think it is the :Wconfused

I had a guy pop his head out the drive through window and look up and down the car and say, "Wow! Is that the new Mustang?!" :naughty:

If they don't know what the car is, tell them it's the first ever Rolls-Royce sports car.

lol. or some italian sports car that is not ferrari.


I've been told my car was a lotus, no ifs and or buts about it hehe... the guy didnt know I owned the car, we were just striking up a conversation and he was like.. that lotus looks nice.... no its a mustang... no it's definately a lotus....yup :hahano: :Eyecrazy:

Okay midlifer what is SE3P? Its killing me.

Chassis code for the RX-8. If you look at some of the online part shops that list the RX-8 you will usually see in parenthises (SE3P).

Bob

P.S. Just ask a RX-7 owner what his car is?

^chassis code. RX8=SE3P

Im thinking about taking the Mazda logo,and have it replaced by a smaller one like the ones on Proteges.

That might work but that part of the trunk has some curve to it. :dunno:

ahhhh
 

:rolleyes: "im lovin it" the bag of Mickey D's in the pic that is!!!

Whats wrong with that?

It's different, but I like the balance of the 3 emblems.

looks off balance, u should put "Mazda" on the right side.

lol this thread is a year old, and the OP traded in his 8 months ago. Not sure what Eddy's doing...

Oh nvm, Crazy bought his 8 back. Cool.

no, thats MY version of rice.

u dont have a MS8 so dont badge it as such.


why move badges around, put the rx8 badge on the mazda logo?
just debadge the whole thing, its clean as hell, stop being a cheapass

Relocated and Painted
 

I like it better this way even though it is a little closer to the left side than I would have liked but being the holes were where they were my options were limited. Yes my car needs washed.
