I shaved my MAZDA front and rear emblems. Who knows their size?

Hi again guys

I dont have my emblems, so I shaved the holes.

I didnt like the flat black colour of the FB emblem anyways. I always wondered if maybe they would look good in chrome.

Now I have a better idea

Some of you guys might have seen this



This are vinyl made (fake carbon fiber and brushed aluminum) and then covered with resin, giving them an OEM look.

I wanna make my front and rear emblems the same way
Aluminum border and carbon fiber in the center

But... I dont have the size of the OEM emblem to make an exact replica.

Can you guys help me with that?

Those never went into the batch I made. Someone asked me to make a few sets but then never replied to my PMs so... I never did them

I will make the MAZDA ones, I really like them

I can make the side emblems, I can even make them as savanna rx7 emblems, but I would need a group buy of 25 to be able to make them at a reasonable price

im in on a group buy for the entire emblem set. im still interested in the Rotory Turbo badge. i would pay what it cost you and extra if it beats trying to find an original in good condition.
