Wow! As happens so often around here, a very basic question has blown into another whine fest about who is right, and who has the right. I have to sort of agree w/ dj in principle, but not the tone. If you can answer the question, then please do. If you cannot, try to be polite and move on to another thread. Just because you have the right to post anything you wish, doesn't mean you always should. I know, I know.......kinda like my post right?lol

 

in Japan.

i think all 2008 models should have gotten that badge since it was meant to commemorate the 40th year of the rotary in the first place..

mazda took a different marketing strategy by making a special edition

 

Put the badge on for 2008 to celebrate the anniversary, but take it off when 2009 rolls around.

 

I'm not trying to be rude, i'll retract the poser comment but nothing else. if you can't stand a public forum and public opinion, then don't post at all. Once you post something in a public forum, anything goes (though it may not be relative to the original subject). Don't tell me that i can't do something on a public forum. If you do, make you're own forum and be a moderator in it and you can be the best tyrannical moderator ever.

back to the subject, the 40th anniversary badge should only belong to the 2008 rx8 because the 2008 rx8's are the 40th year. if you're car is 2004, then custom make a badge that says 36th anniversary. it would just be like putting the fc's 10th anniversary badge on the 86 rx7.

and anyways, i'm sure you can find this anywhere, the dealerships might have a spare emblem that you can buy.

 

to the OP,

you know what? i also REALLY like the 40th anniv badges as well. they are unique like our cars. too bad i found this out after i picked up my '07 in oct... although i still love my VR gt... i'm feeling the wrath of owning that color. it attracts some attn you may not want.

anyways, those badges seem really nice and can easily be an collectible if you can hold on to it long enough. unused of course... just some food for thought.
