Front Mazda Emblem???

I was looking at the"Post pics of your car thread" and noticed that only about half the cars posted have the emblem on the front? Do only certian year have that emblem?

Thanks
Randy

I think a lot of people just take it off. I plan on taking all my emblems off (except the fender emblems) and ordering the stickers from Victoria Bristish that go on the second gens. I think the stickers look cleaner and more smooth. Easier to clean around and over also .

I removed the one that says m-a-z-d-a on the drivers
side front, and from, i think it was a 929 mazda, from
the steering wheel is a small hologram looking emblem
saying mazda. i installed that in the center,front of
my 7. On the rear i replaced the black m-a-z-d-a with
a chrome one, and installed a "rotory engine" emblem
next to the 'gs' emblem and down/offset. On my dash,
passanger side i installed one emblem from an 83 fender
with pins says " mazda RX7" .

Before I had my old SE painted silver...I had all the side mouldings removed as well as all the emblems and had the holes covered.
On my current car I have the RE emblem on the front which is from the RX-2 grill as well as the chromed Rotor emblems on the fenders and an original Savanna RX-7 on the rear

I still have all my emblems on the front and sides. But, I think after the car was painted, the GSL emblem was placed on the wrong side in back, and I have no MAZDA emblem back there.

took mine off during the last paint job. I still have it, but am keeping it so if I ever sell the car I can offer every stock component it came with.

I just didn't realized that many car on here have been repainted.
The front emblem on my 84 was a pin on and has 3 holes under it.
Did everybody else have the holes filled, or did older car come with a stick on emblem?


Later
Randy
