Black out Mazda emblems?
 
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

MyEnemy 10-07-2007 06:05 PM
can you paint just the emblem black?

Socket7 10-07-2007 06:09 PM
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.

BigRed 10-07-2007 06:53 PM
yeah^^ powdercoat them though.

bruce_van 10-07-2007 07:19 PM
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

c41250n 10-07-2007 08:42 PM
just take the emblems out!

MyEnemy 10-08-2007 02:07 AM
Are there holes behind the emblem? if so are the holes very obvious?

bruce_van 10-08-2007 02:24 AM
Yup. There are definitely holes behind the emblems.

FABRO 10-09-2007 03:35 AM
looks much cleaner with no emblems, get them filled in and painted.

MyEnemy 10-09-2007 03:41 AM
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.

Fortunate Few 10-09-2007 03:59 AM
look good to me ive seen other people on here with it . but photoshop the emblems themselves as black that might look better.

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

MyEnemy 10-10-2007 08:11 PM
Black emblems look nice, dont think it will work for me. My car being black and all, but looks nice.

BigRed 10-10-2007 08:24 PM
^it would look better imo

TownDrunk 10-10-2007 10:01 PM
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. :D:

Heres mine on a BB. Sorry about the one big pic. To do the front you have to take the front bumper off due to retaining pins. I just bought new emblems and prepped them before hand so I did not have to go without any badges or reapply the the 3m backing. I love the way they came out.

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

bruce_van 10-12-2007 02:16 AM
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.
