Pic of my rear end debadged and w/spacers
I don't understand why someone would want to "debadge" their car. Can you please explain? I'm kind of proud of the job Mazda did with the car. And, I guess if I saw a car without the badges I would think that it just had some body work done, and the shop didn't install the badges yet.
Is it because you want people to ask you about what kind of car it is?

Some people just prefer the cleaner look of the rear. The 3 logos in such a small space do create a bit of clutter. I think I would prefer just the 'flying wing' logo in the center, or maybe taking all 3 off and just getting a Mazdaspeed one where the Mazda is.
I don't really understand the concept of the spacers or what they do...I have 19x9.5s in the back with a +45mm offset and 275/30/19 tires in the back, does that mean i made my handling worse? It kind of does feel a little worse, maybe it's supposed to bebetter and i have it backwards but it doesn't feel as solid. Could be my tires are too new?

Rubbing sux. They should have checked the proper offsets before putting them on. Of course, now I learned a lot about wheels and offsets.
Here is a pic.

Photography tips for everyone.
1. Take pictures with the sun at your back.
2. To let people see how your wheels fit, stand as far back and use the telephoto mode of your camera.
3. You are shooting tires which are near black underneath the vehicle. It might be a good idea to increase the exposure compensation of your photos to allow for longer exposure times.
It is difficult to get a good feel of how the fitments are with these photos.
Sorry to be picky.
