TX Black emblems or Debadge?

Hey guys, not sure if anyone's ever asked but I'm just wondering what you guys think would look better. My 8 is sunlight silver. Thanks in advance for your input.

Some like a full debadge, some argue that it makes the rear trunk/ front empty. It's all preference. I like a debadge.

After a recent driver cut me off, and i needed a new front bumper I had the auto body shop debadge the front bumper. It looks so much better with out the emblem.

I agree. It is mainly about preference.

I partially debadged my rear trunk and only kept the Mazda emblem. If I redo it again this time I would take it off.

I have a partial debadge, I took off everything except the rear flying M on the trunk and I think it looks pretty good. I think that black badges on a sunlight silver look too obvious and out of place.

I think both look better than stock but I want people to know what I'm driving.

I only left the mazda emblem in the middle. I "rolled" into the back of a car one day so i had to have the front painted so i took off the front emblem and had them do me a favor and take off the mazda and the rx8 off the back and fill the holes and just sprayed the back part of the truck. It was hot.
