Familia Badge!!!

[I_Vtec]

Just wanted to let everyone know that corksport.com has a familia badge for sale that will fit our p5s. It says it fits year 99/00, but if you pull off your protege5 badge it fits right into the holes. Only $9 plus shipping too.

Only problem is the adhesive that holds on the pro5 emblem is a b**** to get off. I had to use lighter fluid for like half an hour just to get it off of there. Final results well worth it though.

I just know I'm gonna be driving and a soccer mom behind me gonna turn to her husband and say,"What's a mazda familia?"

Very cool. Any pictures?

You not proud of your P5? Why would you want to rebadge it like all the Honda Type-R cars running around that never existed here in the US either.

 

[I_Vtec]

In Japan the pro5 is called a familia. It's not like I'm a honda punk who puts a type r on his car and tries to say I've got more under the hood than I do. I'm damn proud of my car.

Would you say my friend who has a Nissan 300z with a fairlady badge on the back is not proud of his ride. Once again that's what the 300z is called in Japan.

Overseas not all cars go by the same name. I just don't see why you have to bust my chops for putting a different badge on my car.:mad:

Gene pics will be up in a week or less. Glad someone thinks it's cool.

I went to corksport.com and cannot find those emblems anywhere. Can you please e-mail me a link to it at baggedyellowp5@aol.com. Also do you know if they are the actualy jdm emblem? Because i saw one sell on ebay for about $50. Let me know. Thank you

personally I think its cool too.....but I wish there were NO holes under ANY of the badges....if there weren't...I'd remove them all....and leave it nekid....even remove the front grill flying M.....THEN watch them look and try to figure out what it is....you don't see many P-5's around my parts.....and would just like to keep it that way! lol its nice having only two of 6 in the entire area.....and you rarely see the others.....they aren't owned by car people..... they actually got them for their utility! lol

go figure!

 

[BK's black P5]

I agree with Sir Nuke - badgless would look best, but the holes are the problem.

 

[gene in cincinnati]

Yeah, I think it's cool. My friend removed his Jetta badge and replaced it with a Bora badge.

I replaced my P5 badge with a JDM Sport20 badge a while ago,and i have no problem removing the P5 badge. Try my way,see if it work- First i let the car sit directly under the sun ,for 2 hours.and it was around 80F out,then all i used was my 2 thumb nails,and slowly pull them out from the edge,very slowly. it took me 10 min. then i used the detailer to wipe off the glue that was left there.(very little) Now for the ppl that are in the colder weather, i was thinking a Heat gun,or blow dryer will do the trick also. Hope this help!!

 

[jdmp5]

Oh, and ah your 2 thumb will HURT for around i'll say 3 days.But that's better than a screwdriver scratch,or dent. Well worth the pain.(I think).

wow...if it was 80F there then i shouldn't have a problem here in az try 115F...should pop out...

does the sport20 badge fit with the holes?? i heard it don't fit exactly...

 

[jdmp5]

I think the JDM Familia badge is a direct fit,but the one that i have is the JDM Sport20 Familia badge,it's a plastic thin piece,tapes right on. also covers the 2 hole. GOOD LUCK!

 

[AlexMack]

Yeah, I think it's cool. My friend removed his Jetta badge and replaced it with a Borla badge.

you mean bora? right?

 

[gene in cincinnati]

Yeah, Bora...I mis-typed it.

 

[I_Vtec]

There's not a picture on corksport.com. But, hopefully mine will be up soon.

Here's the part #, 99p-8-020.

Hey an easy way to remove the badge is to run fishing line under it to loosen the sticky crap. Then just pull it off. Careful though it is just cheap plastic, may break.

 

[zulu]

Anyone know where I can get the 323F badge for the tailgate?
The european one I like.The Japanese Familia badge makes me think of a "family car".The last thing I want people to think about my car is "station wagon".
No offence to those who like it,just my personal opinion

 

[WhiteZoomZoom]

I am thinking the same as zulu....I was gonna get that FAMILIA badge but I just don't want people to think my car is a family car or something........haha....But it is kinda cool...I am gonna think about that badge..........Just waiting for some pictures.....

 

[LooseCannon]

i got my badges shaved . . . to bad no one noticed at Carlisle

 

[OurP5]

I don't have a Familia badge. I don't care if people think of my car as a family car because that is one reason I bought it. My wife and I are expecting our first child. I needed 4 doors!!

However, that will not stop me from adding mods because you lever know when you may be running late for daycare and need to get there quickly!
