If it turned out good for you that's awesome. It's just a lot more work and a lot more precautions to make to ensure that you don't get paint anywhere you don't want it. It makes it a lot easier to take it off, even though it may seem easier just to leave it on.

I was actually referring to painting them while the emblems are still attached to the vehicle. Repainting them is all good, lol.

Lol oh. I took mine off. I didn't think people were that stupid. I just used fishing line and sawed them off. Floss broke too easily. I left the remainder of the foam sticky stuff on the car so i had something to glue them back on to.

I wanted to do this so bad but i figured i would have to take it to a body shop to fill and paint the holes...

i cant decide if i want to strip them all or just leave the 'm' i have a black one so i think the black emblems would look bad ***. i hate the mazda and the rx8 emblems though.

i need a new front bumper as i have a little bit of damage to it so i just figured i would get rid of them all when i bought my new bumper... whenever i decide what one to get.

I agree, it would be like taking the "Z" off the Nissan Z series, you would end up with the Nissan 300, 350, 370...i thought ford had the 350...

catch my drift?

I vote keep the rx-

no you're not getting the point, the RX badge needs to stay on because its the only production Rotary out there, it really doesnt matter about the Z because regardless if you take it off or not it still have pistons along with every other car...

do you really need to ask?
It's an emblem. Take it off, leave it on, who cares? I would go all or nothing.

use floss to remove the badges. You'll likely have residue left over. WD-40 will help clean it off without messing up your clear coat. There's some other stuff that will also work, but you have to be careful .
