Okay guys. I have an idea to black out the area underneath the Mazda emblems. I've seen this done on a lot of concept cars and it looks pretty good.

This is a photochop job I've done and I wanted to get your opinions on this before I started.

Opinions welcome.

 

not my style...
EDIT: blackout the emblems themselves

 

can you paint just the emblem black?

 

I think this is a mod people will either love or hate. To me, there isnt enough black on the whole vehicle to pull this off well. It'd look better if you tinted your headlights to be blacked out too.

More importantly, where did you get that renesis badge on the back? I want one.

 

yeah^^ powdercoat them though.

 

I'm not a big fan of the painted black emblems. It's too much of a contrast.

That's why I was thinking of the black background. I first saw it with the Toyota concept car and thought it look great on white.

 

That was a DIY. You can buy the letters from http://badgeyourride.com/.

I posted a thread detailing everything.

 

Might look a bit better if you tint the headlights and taillights like socket said

 

just take the emblems out!

 

Are there holes behind the emblem? if so are the holes very obvious?

 

Yup. There are definitely holes behind the emblems.

 

looks much cleaner with no emblems, get them filled in and painted.

 

I would drop my emblems i just dont have time to go get them filled in, and I dont want to drive around with the little holes so everyone can see them.

 

look good to me ive seen other people on here with it . but photoshop the emblems themselves as black that might look better.

 

+1. But that's just me. Do 'em if you like 'em, it's your ride.

 

imo the emblems you photochopped look to hondaish
here is my car and i have blk emblems... i have had blk emblems on all my cars

 

ineffable, that looks hot! I'd do mine the same but...

 

Black emblems look nice, dont think it will work for me. My car being black and all, but looks nice.

 

^it would look better imo

 

I like it with your emblems the way they are... I think the black looks a bit funky. I wouldn't even black out the chrome parts on your car. The chrome on white looks pretty sweet... Of course, so does your Renesis emblem.

 

WOW !

And Ike thought Sam from Inavision had a BIG snow plow on his RX 8

 

looks good to me

 

did Redpit10 just paint his rims from stock? the one above

 

Looks like 80% say leave it alone. Guess it wasn't such a great idea after all.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll just leave it for now until I get hassled by the mod bug again.
