Looks awesome! Im actually looking for pictures of the emblems themselves (the backside of them) so I can see what type of clips are on them so I can remove them without breaking them. Can someone please post a pic of the BACK of the emblems?

The RX-8 Logo was just a sticky with no holes. Three on the "Mazda" badge and another two on the "M" logo. Hope this helps. Good luck with the de-badging! It really adds a nice touch to the car :P |

no problem... I find it hard to find good information in posts anymore... I wish there was more discussion about changing out headlight bulbs that would have just told me to remove the front bumper and remove the housing rather than reaching in through the wheel well and breaking a platic bracket (i fixed it tho). In general, those are my pet pieves... I try to be helpful as much I can to make it easier on the next guy... Good luck with the de-badging!
Any tips on removing the emblems? The plastic pins dont want to come out of the holes? :Eyecrazy: Thanks! |
dental floss.
beers :beer: |

Don't be scared to yank on it a little bit, the clips won't break. They aren't that fragile, just take your time with it and in no time you'll have them off!

Hey guys good thing someone posted this up. If i went to a body shop and asked them for a debadge how much would they pull out you think? Im talking about the MAZDA RX-8, the emblems front and back
|
Rates vary from shop to shop. Since the holes need to be filled and the trunk lid repainted, probably 200-300$

debadging the front costs about the same as a repaint for the front. |
Would refilling be really hard? considering i have the original paint itself up in my closet.
|
So the guy i asked quoted me "300" for front and back is that a good deal?
|
it depends on how good their work is and how theyre going to fill it. Ideally the holes should be welded shut to avoid cracking in the future like body filler can do.
|
If you know how to weld you could fill in those holes yourself (trunk) and save some money.
|
Yeah i asked and it took him some time to say what he was going to do with the car. I think hes not that great but still knows a little about it.
|
^^^ Also the front will be filled most likely with filler compound, and may look nice when you first get it but as time goes by the compound may sag...

i Need to know... i've been itching to go pry those things out RIGHT NOW!!!...
but i want to make sure paint doesnt come off when i rippem off -_-. |
want to do this.
what to fill holes with? no shop for me. |
i'd look for some little plug and paint it with touchup paint.
|
thread resurrection i'm going with a gray and black theme right now
black oem rims tint no one steal this: black lights for interior, footwells too maybe black under glow smoked tails n clear corners and i don't know for head lights n fogs yet but for that set up, what do you guys think would look better? debadge, or painted badges black? (front and back) |
