Front Grille Emblem

OK...I have searched and I can't find what I'm looking for.

Is there a replacement grille with the RX-8 emblem on it, or is there an attaching emblem or is it a black license plate, I can't tell. I've seen some pictures and I like the look of the large "RX-8" on the front...what can I do to get it?

It is just the rear RX-8 Emblem of the car. You can buy them at rosenthal or mazdaparts, both vendors here.

The mazda emblem has a post, so there are holes behind it.

I think he's talking about the black license plate with RX-8 written on it, in white. Alot of Japanese advertisements have something similar to this with the car's name on it.

I've seen the large "RX-8" on the license plate you are referring to but only in advirtisements. I don't know if anybody sells it. It would be easy enough to make one yourself and place it behind a plastic covered license plate holder.

no. that's just the license plate frame with "rx-8" on the plates. what i've seen is actually a billite grille like mine, but the grilles are a little bit thicker and spread out furhter apart. in the middle it has "rx-8".

well actually......now that i'm paying attention...... brothervoodoo, it's actually the same as the pic in your sig right now. so i guess there you have it??? is that what you're looking for Torchmonkey?

Why not mimic the Mazda Kabura grill, which I think is awesome as long as you also copy the headlight/foglight design.

true. the best way to hide that spot though is by getting an emblem or a front grille.

somebody here on the forums said that my car has "braces" lol.
