[wiley858]

i want to debadge my protie but i am not sure if there are holes under the badges. i want to leave the mazda symbol on the center back but want to take the protege 5 and mazda off on the back. ideas? is it just adhesive so i can do it on a hot day and some dental floss or are they pegged on

yes sir.

I removed mine and covered the holes with some bondo and got my sh1t painted. Could check out my sig links to see what it looks like without emblems. Looks better to me.

When you do it & if you do it without breaking your P5 badge, sell it to me. I broke mine getting it off when replacing it with 323F & I want the worldwide collection of badges for this car so now I'm missing a P5 from the set.

Do you still have your P5 badge laying around? If so I'll buy it for reasons in the above post.

If you co to Lowes or whatever home improvement store is close by, you can buy 1/4" Nylon hole plugs. buy 4 of those, paint the heads to match your car, then press them in to place. mine have been on for a year with no leakage.

There are two holes per emblem. i welded mine closed grinded away any excess. smoothed out and painted.

The correct way.

 

[Flash5]

depending on your car's color and if you want to just have something different just paint them black. thats what i did and im happy with them.

The correct way.

the expensive, non-reversible way

if he really wanted to, he could cut off the posts and just use some of the 3M red tape stuff restick the badges on and no one would know the difference. or drill new holes.

expensive? yes. reversible? probably not.

sorry no more. I gave the to EVADE

OK, lemme fully qualify that. It would have been the correct way from the factory to not have the damn holes to begin with. Anybody's ever just fall off, no that adhesive is plenty good. The holes were just lame alignment thing for the factory robots. And as was stated adhesive will hold just fine if you want them back on.

I did cut off the posts and then stuck the emblems to my sub box.

what kinda of paitn did you use?

I don't know the exact kind because i am at school right now and the paint is at my house but I got it from advanced auto. I think it is just duplicolor black of some kind, but you just gotta make sure u do everything right (primer,paint,clear) to make sure it looks good. I did it to my front emblem as well.

Have you had any troubles with rust or leaking?
