Custom rotor badges are in!

I've been working with a company since around January to get a rotor design that I came up with made into some badges. It took a while due me PCSing to Germany(USAF) but I finally got them in and here are a few pics. My car isn't here yet so these will have to do. They're about the size of a CD.

Replacing the Mazda badges. They're not that much bigger. I wanted them a bit larger so I could get more detail in there.

Yes, they bend slightly so they'll be able to form over the trunk.

Are you going to post pics of it when it's on the car? take photos of your car now and then do a side by side

Unfortunately my car is still back in California so I can't take any pictures of it. It'll be some time before it gets here.

I'm going to have to pass. Pictures could change my mind?

Keep the stock emblems or simply debadge IMO. Not really a big fan of replacing emblems with more/other emblems....

Keep the creativity up though

I can order it any way I want, it's my design. The Kanji says Mazda in Japanese, and in Chinese it means "to have everything" which is pretty fitting for me.

I generally go for debadging, but I thought that this would be a good idea to do something really creative with the car that nobody else in the world will have. This design is 100% my creation. It's sort of like a signature.

Thats prettu much exactly what I want for emblems. Except without the kanji tramp stamp on it.

I'm way to white to have kanji on my car.

Yo, its your car - you paid for it. Do what you want to it. You had these badges made. Your car is totally unique and you didn't just buy things to slap onto it like everyone else. And if you like it, go with it.
I'm sure everyone out there has something on their car that someone else thinks is stupid.

-They remind me a bit of the 40th anniversary emblems on the fenders of the '08s.

I don't care of the extra writing on them though. But, they're on your 8, not mine
