rear emblems stolen
 
some asshole stole all 3 of my stock rear emblems. not only did they steal it, they left several scratches left by a screwdriver, some going in kinda deep.

anybody know where i should buy my new emblems? should my local mazda dealer carry them?

wow wtf thats scary
im staying away from l.a
but the emblems should be easy ask mikeb for his set he may sell his
i have the rx-8 i took

Dookie_Rx-8 01-30-2005 02:22 PM

this is why i wanna take off all emblems on the car

Mr. Ed's rx-8 01-30-2005 02:34 PM

that sucks. i am having mine removed right now while my car is in the body shop. had to get the holes filled and the lid repainted.

try going to a body shop and see what they would charge to just repair the scratches and fill the holes and repaint.

How much are you paying to remove the emblems and have the holes filled.

They are not professionals :mad:

An 16 year old kid will know the best way to remove it is to use thick dental floss. Not thick screwdrivers :(

Mine got stolen *(only the Mazda emblem) a while too. The guy have used the dental floss and kept my car clean. I should have told him Mazda sold it for AUD$22 :mad:

i just want to buy the stock emblems and put them back on my car. i've looked on mazdausa.com and trussville/rosenthal but nobody seems to have the stock emblems (mazda, logo, rx8).

anybody know where to get them and how to put them back on?

what's the point in steeling emblems??? that like the idiot who stole my radio face plate...moron.

Trussville will have them. They just dont put those types of items on their website because its not a big seller or upgrade. Call them up an they will hook you up for sure.

They all have holes/pin on them so lining them up is not a problem.

Just peel off the double sticky type and stick them on .... press hard for 30 seconds

that is part of the reason I did
also I think it looks cleaner

Gyro 01-30-2005 06:38 PM

Hey Mike... I think you have some money stuck to your plate.


I'm going to drive behind you more often!

snifferer 01-30-2005 07:40 PM

thanks guys, i'm gonna ask trussville to see if they carry the emblems.
I'm gonna replace my stock emblems - if it gets stolen again I may have to pull a mikeb.

If they do a good job of removing them, they can steal mine. I wouldn't mind my car being debadged.

Im_DANomite 01-30-2005 11:52 PM

man...from that angle of the rear...our cars look like an S2000.

poolsidenaz 01-31-2005 12:11 AM

I'll have some here in a couple days or so. Getting my rear debadged.
