Ok, I know this might be silly to almost everyone, but i dont care, im askin it anyway.

I was in the mazda dealership today and saw the MSM on the back of it it has a nice metal looking MAZDASPEED Badge, not the plastic looking on that is on our car. Does anyone know where to find this part aftermarket (the dealership wants about 40.00 for it)? I would like to have one for each front quarterpanel. Also, i would like to find a similar metal or metal looking badge to go in the front grill, that says turbo. I like the way the turbo badge looks on the WV beetle, but im not about to go ripping one off the car. Anyone know where to look for things like this?

Thanks,
Chad

TooSavy (or something like that) has a VW "Turbo" badge on his MSP...just saw it the other day and it looks nice! PM him and ask where he got it I guess!
 
You are correct they look a lot better than the crappy emblem they put on the MSP. I bought the MSM MazdaSpeed badges for my MSP. In answer to your question, as of right now, they only place you can get them is the dealers. Rosenthal Mazda and Trussville Mazda both sell them for $33-35. The reason they are so much is they only come in the kit form. Which also includes the MX-5 emblem.

You can find some other sites that sell a similar badge but with a black lining. I've seen them on Miata sites and a few RX-7 sites.

Keep in mind if you do get these and the polished Turbo badge off of a VW you're still gonna need to do something about your Flying M emblems. I'm just pulling all mine off and painting them so they'll be the same finish.
 
myself and Dr.Sound went to VW dealership and paid 16.99 each for VW turbo emblems and they look BAD ASS. they match up perfect to cover up the two holes that protege sign leaves and looks like it belongs there. just be ready for the questions from ppl that WILL follow
-what kinda car is it?
-its a turbo mazdaspeed....( quietly leave the "protege" out) :D

I know you probably have before, but could you post a pic of your Turbo badge? Since I'm probably going to be removing the Protege badge to paint it anyhow I might just follow your example.

Thanks,

Edit: Anyone know if there are mounting holes under the flying M badge on the back, or is it smooth?

the "turbo" badge is polished, just like the inside of the "mazdaspeed" badge.

originally i had an idea of sanding down the chrome on top of the turbo badge, but leaving it on on the sides of the letters.........to make it match the flat-silver mazda logo on the back,
but as soon as me and marashka put them on, we realized that we should not do anything at all to the badge......IT LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS!

i'm in school right now, but i can take some more full shots of the back if u guys want.
