heat it up with a blow dryer and then remove the badges by using fishing line and using it as a saw.

I thought they were held on by screws. So if you heat them up and remove them there will not be any holes?

 

[mp3josh]

it is held on by double sided tape and glue.

There are 2 holes for each of the 3 rear badges/emblems. The Mazdaspeed emblem is the only one that doesn't have little prongs that go through the holes...it's just flat.

I've posted pics before...try searching & you'll find pics of my trunk holes.

Damn that sucks! I was quoted the same price by a local shop but I figured they were just trying to rip me off but I guess not. Why couldnt mazda just put some double sided tape on our badges like they did with our ground effect kit

 

[thejoker0409]

yikes 300 so what do ya guys think black or grey?

 

[SpoolinMsp]

I think black would actually look really cool. The only problem about grey would be the conflicting color of the car which is titanium (correct)?; to a flat gray on the emblems

 

[mspeed101]

A friend of mine has a titanium and he painted his badges black and I liked how they came out. He also painted the front mazda emblem black and looked really good.

 

[thejoker0409]

yea i think thats what ill do thanks every one

 

[thejoker0409]

how dose the front one come off?
