rear emblems stolen

some ******* 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?

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

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

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

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

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