hey shake!! i'm with you, BUT i'm with wtbrotary too...i think the emblem is too small/intricate for me to wrap myself. i'm pretty sure i could do it, but it wouldn't look as good as it could...

that seems high for a piece of plastic, but i wouldn't be surprised if that's what mazda charges. another reason they should allow us to ship them eblems. i'd do my gf's mazda 3 in a heartbeat, but it's a different size i think, so i'm not sure i could order this for her car...

You keep saying "they." Who is "they?" What company is selling this, that would be some great info. I'm not just going to send you $75...

that is definitely 3M dinoc, and it is not designed for outdoor use. it's hard to see how it would last.

as has already been said, all you guys drooling over it should really just spend the 5 bucks and give it a shot. it's ridiculously easy to wrap things with a hair dryer and a razor blade, and if you somehow mess it up, it's only 5 bucks.

i need a count of how many people want to buy roughly! hopefully more than just 5 of you or so :p

DIY kit = 15bucks
From them with brand new emblem = 75~
they won't let us ship them our current emblems.

In my worthless opinion 75 is steep for a wrapped emblem like everyone else said. And to whoever says DiNoc doesnt hold up in weather must not have the stuff I had. I did this to my front emblem a while back and it never looked any different from the day I put it on. Its a great idea and look, but you have to know what your doing to make it look like the one in the picture.
