Debadging
I'm going to be debadging my car so I need to know if the following is correct.
Badges on the back
Mazda Wing - 2 Holes
Mazda letters - 2 holes
RX-8 letters - adhesive
Badge on the front
Mazda Wing - 2 Holes
So they will need to do body work and paint for the Mazda wings front and back and then Mazda lettering on the back right?
I've gotten a price quote and he is quoting me $300-$400.

i think 300-400 is a bit dramatic to take of emblems... id ont think it makes THAT big of a difference... i think they're cute! jk im thinking of tinting my emblems... any clue what to use to re-adheasive it back on?

dang, that's a bit high, I paid 80 bucks on mine as they kept them and credited me the amount they were worth, even without keeping them the highest price I came up with from a place was 240.00. 3-400 is a bit steep, might want to shop around some more

Mazda has 2, both flying m's have 2, rx-8 is 3m glue. Here is mine, you may remember hearing about it from the hail damage it received (over 9 grand worth)

Front and back, sanding down, rebuilding the rear and front, repainting and blending in the paint.
$400?
Too cheap. I think you'll have masking tape lines on your front and rear that will be visible if not right away, in soon enough time. Blending into the body makes all the difference and for $400 they're not going to do that. Only the front faschia and trunk will be worked on and hopefully atleast the full pieces will be stripped, rebuilt with fill-in (not just plugging the holes), and repainted. I'd look around or ask specifically, specifically, what will be done for that price.
My 2 cents.

Flying M was 2, and Mazda text was 3 for me. Mine was about $350. But I also had two holes filled and scratches from the stock spoiler. The whole trunk lid was completely resprayed.
Debadging made a huge difference. That whole space is just cluttered with the busy tailights and emblems.
