New emblem

The emblems are bigger and bigger on every new car for year by year, what I don't like. Maybe our cars body is a marketing place for the factories (in my opinion). I don't like my RX's big chrome emblems too, so I decided to make new ones.
The sorry thing is that there are three holes under the MAZDA "word" on the trunk, so I had to make two new emblems to cover those.

I like! An "RX-8" emblem in the same size might look nice too...

Looks good. You did a great job with the rotor emblem. I'd like to debadge the rear of my car but I'm too scared that the body shop will suck at matching the pearl. Oh well. Good lookin car!

They cost way too much if you were to order one from a dealer in europe.. your best bet is to get one from a UK member or "other" when they upgrade to a different rear spoiler...

I'm in Europe, so my car came with that lip. A heard that the cw is 0.31 without it, and 0.30 with it. Unbeliavable that this little lip cause that different.
Thanks your opinion on my emblem!

Yes, but i didn't think about it until now. I hope I can get more pieces inner rotary emblem with the mazda rx-8 label. The other problem is that I'm in the middle of europe.
Thanks for the opinions on my emblems for everybody!

Yes. I wanted something different from the other RX-8's. (..and that little carbon piece reminds me of the coolest, handmade sportcars.)
