mazdaspeed 3 emblem

[mikespeed3]

is it hard to remove, like pins etc.? or is it just stuck on with adhesive?

i want to put the blackout kit on my new speed 3... i sold my white one and bought a 2008.5 True Red GT

It's tig welded to the frame. You need an acetylene torch and a chain strapped around a tree to remove it.

It's true, I did it. Cost me $1100 for the labor, and $100 for the tree (No trees in Oklahoma.. none)

no pins. Stick on. saw it off with fishing line. Use your finger nail to pick off the rest.

i broke a nail doing so...then i got glue stuck under another and it got infected. be careful

I removed the 3 from the badge on the back. The adhesive is still so new it didn't even leave a shadow.

Yeah, that made me giggle. (rlaugh)

I just finished doing the front. It is just clipped on so it's easy to remove. As for the back, you'll need to take it off with a fish line.

you guys think the black emblems would look good with the metro gray color?

Yes. Black emblems on a gray car look good IMO.

Can you give a link to the kit you mention?

 

[Sho-Ryu-Ken!]

how would a blackout kit look on a Cosmic Blue 3? or how about even painting the emblems white???

 

[mazdaspeed32007]

white emblems = gay
blavk emblems always look good.

check kens site at protegegarage.com first. he's the man. if you dont find any under the mazdaspeed3 part check a few others. he deserves the business for he rules. other than that you can get them off of street unit . com i now for sure.

unless you have a spray booth. then you can save a lot of money.

Ok, while we're talking about removing the back emblem, I'm going to confess something. I scrubbed the left over residue off a bit too hard when I did this and ended up making swirls in my clearcoat. I have now tried 3 different scratch remover products (Maguire's, 3M and something else). 3M made the most difference, but at certain angles and up close you can still see it.

Any suggestions for removing these swirls entirely? It's a large area (3" x 8" or so) and I would like to avoid tossing touch-up paint over it.

Thank you

You prolly wanna recopy that here since you wrote it, otherwise it might get removed for forum rules.
