Emblem woes?

Hi all,
So I bought a 93 RX7 with a 99 Nose and 99 Engine.

I bought some OEM Enfini emblems from Japan, and when they arrived they have 2 nubs in the back that are to insert into the bumper.
Problem is, that my rear bumper where the emblem goes, has 3 holes, none of which line up with the emblem.

These are the OEM emblems, so they dont have any color in the "back ground" of it.
So even if I just tried to line up the emblem and just stick it on, the hole is visable through the emblem. the front nose has 2 holes, 1 inch apart directly side by side, and the emblem doesnt fit on that either.

What are people doing to get around this?

Am I the odd one out that has some extra holes drilled into my bumper?

You need to make sure you purchased RX-7 specific Efini emblems. It sounds like you got shipped 2 front emblems, but if the posts don't match up with your bumper's holes, they might be for a different Mazda car.

I would recommend trying the Efini emblems from RX7.com: RX7.COM | FD Exterior

The "Rear" emblems they sell come with the appropriate 3 posts (2 large, 1 small) to fit your bumper. However, these ones come with background colors unlike the ones you have currently.

Right on.
Well in that case,

Anyone interested in buying some Efini Emblems?
Hopefully I can offset the cost of buying these ones from RX7.com

Thanks man.

My best recollection is that my rear bumper only had two holes. And as you've probably noticed already, some versions of OEM emblems do have background colors.
