Title: 2008 RX-7 Rear Badges
Post by: FDAsh on October 14, 2008, 04:06:10 PM
Well after a slightly overzealous chap at the valet centre destroyed my rear RX7 badge, I\'ve been meaning to get it replaced. Thanks to Mazda broadening their range with the CX-7 SUV, I\'ve been able to update the look a bit.

Take one RX-8 badge:

...and one CX-7 badge:

Remove the C and X, replace with the RX so the blue foamy bit lines it all up, et voila:

2008 RX-7 badge :Giggle

Dunno if it\'s been done before, or how it\'ll look on the car (as mine\'s in WGT at the moment) but figured some of you might be interested.

No mate, has the updated rear lights, rest of it is normal 97 spec.

(only decent recent rear pic I have)

99 front is on the "to do but not urgently" list, needs some paintwork doing and new wheels, not to mention the abortion that is the rear foglight sorting out. That\'s a new bumper job I reckon though, so will wait for that before sticking the new badges on.

Might look crap, I\'m not sure yet :lol:

Aerofiber version of the FEED Type II adjustable. Brilliant bit of kit, only a couple in the UK too from what I can gather, I only know of one other guy (White FD) with one.

Yep, does look good in the 3d chromey text... did a vinyl one for mine about 3 years ago for the front bumper:

Thing is it\'s a functioning spoiler that doesn\'t destroy the lines of the car, perfect for me therefore.
