Turbo Badge and Mazda emblem. black or silver?

[SoniCraze]

I just picked up the VW turbo emblem and was about to slap it on in place of the protege badge. When i started thinking. What if i sanded it down, and painted it flat black, how would it look? I would do that and the mazda emblem.

I really cant decide, any advice?

ya i do plan on replaceing the stock mazdaspeed emblem with that exact one. But for now i just want to replace the Protege one with the Turbo one.

Just cant decide, polished or black.

I wanted to go with more black accents, calipers, hood, etc. So maybe that would be a better way to go, i just dont know how it would look on yellow back there.

If your going to change the Mazdaspeed emblem to the one above I suggest you paint it black. If your going to keep it for awhile then leave it silver. By the way where did you get the badge? I want to do the same badge and im unsure which one fits. I heard ttstuff.com but the dimensions seem off they say its like 2" by .35 which is way to small. I think its the one off the beetle but how many are there??

I think Ken Just said he sells the set(and the set only at this point) for 32 bucks. Check Protegegarage.com. Mazda dealers are back ordered s thats about your only option at this point.

It's adhesive. And yes you can get it in red. Buy it, sand it, prime it, paint it. Taadaa! Red!

Anyone knows if the mazdaspeed badge will cover the stock badge holes in the trunk ???

It's a matter of alignment, I am sure some way, some how it would, just a matter of finding which two letters cover the holes best. I don't think anybody has these emblems on yet but give it a week or two. Someone will have them.

[ICEMAN.2]

Probably me ;)

see mine in my sig? I just re- sanded it and painted all my emblems a slightly shinier aluminum. Looks good. I just got a new grille and am thinking about ditching hte turbo emblem if anyone might be interested in buying it from me let me know.

it comes only in polished from Mazda. you'd have to paint it, but i dont think that'd be a problem. it attaches with 3M style adhesive tape. Peel the cover off the back of the emblem and stick on. easy as that.

For Sure! Thats the emblem setup I will be using starting next week except the "Mazda" emblem will be the MX-5 mazdaspeed emblem, all painted pearl gray and clear coated.
