I'm planning to get the vertex lang kit soon,
i was wondering if it will block the air flow of the racing beat ram air duct?
is there indicators on the back for the mazda emblem? or should i keep it debadge?
thanks!

 

For the RB ram air... I'm not sure about fitment.

For the rear, the bumper comes up to just below the badges. Take a look at a pic of the rear of an 8. There's the rear bumper, the trunk, and the sheet of metal in between with all the badges on it...

 

sorry about my wording i meant to say if there was indicators on the back of the front bumper for the emblem.

 

no there are no locators for an emblem

Also dont even know what Ross Dawg is talking about the part with the emblems is the trunk

 

emblems=fail when addded to a bodykit, cars look so much better without them, especially if you do a full kit.

 

haha, if ill go either way, debadge or badge. i like the mazda emblem. shows what we are!

 

may even look into a smaller badge the Protege has the flying M in about half the diameter...

 

Ahh you are correct sir... my bad

 

this might help you a little to visualize how the rb duct will sit in there

 

yeah I think there's no way that it won't be blockled unless you can somehow extend the duct lower

the OEM bumper has a much taller mouth than vertex

 

again it will fit the top third of the oem grill is blocked off here is a sample picture of just how low the RB duct must go to accomodate the opening, the duct actually takes in air from the very bottom of the main grill...

 

the area where the air duct takes in air would probably sit in the middle or near the top of the mouth of the vertex bumper from what i see from comparing the 2 pictures. correct me if im wrong.

 

no your right the RB duct would sit right underneath the top of the Vertex grille opening...
