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??

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

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..

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

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

Do you drive that thing in winter?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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?"
