Just be warned. If you debage you car, there will be holes in the bumper and trunk. The flying M and the mazda badges have pins in them (2 in the flying M's and 3 in the mazda badge). The rx8 badge is just a sticker (no pins).

Calling Dominion

Dominion's car is debadged and you can't even see the holes when driving from behind him.

I figured the flying M would have holes, but I didn't know about the Mazda badge. Thanks for the heads up, that would not have been a cool surprise.

Well if you get your Mazda debadge and then get the holes filled and repainted. It will look like this...OnePhatGuy Mazda. Looks clean.

That does look pretty sweet, thanks for the pic silver. Maybe when I have a lot of free time on my hands I'll knock it out over a weekend.

I understand taking off some dealer name badge, but I never understood why anyone wants to debadge an RX8.

Why do it?

I get that question anyway.

Personally I wouldn't mind pulling some of the badges off the back as it seems a bit too busy...but I'm lazy.

not too many people do, with other 8 people I usually have to point it out or they say what trunk(aftermarket) is that, and people without 8s dont ever notice...
