They were put on at the dealerships at random when the car was new. There is no way to get an original sticker. There was someone here on the forum that was re-manufacturing them, however they were larger than the original stickers.

And also is to be referred to as the unicorn sticker. EVERYONE but DD wants one (cause 1980 did not have.) And that's a shame if u ask me.

His is a 1981 I suppose. It's a little confusing I know. But I think i would rather have the actual sticker year for my car. I have a 1982 and I am running with a 1985 sticker. I don't have a problem with it.

That is just a pic from the forums posted in another thread. However, as CyByrd has indicated, the "1980" sticker would have been on 1981 models. Neither of the 1980 models I have owned had a sticker.

FYI - the stickers listed Mazda's Manufacturer's Championship wins all the way from 1980 through 1987. I still have an original sticker on the rear hatch glass of my 1988 fc that lists all 8 consecutive wins through 1987.

"The Mazda RX-7 has won more IMSA races in its class than any other model of automobile, with its hundredth victory on September 2, 1990. Following that, the RX-7 won its class in the IMSA 24 Hours of Daytona race ten years in a row, starting in 1982. The RX-7 won the IMSA Grand Touring Under Two Liter (GTU) championship each year from 1980 through 1987, inclusive."

You young guys can trust me that this is all true. I personally attended several of those IMSA races and have been cheering on the rotaries since the early 80's.

If anyone wants to see what an original of the last sticker looked like just let me know and I'll post a pic of mine.

The stickers were available in the 81-88 or 89 model years I believe. The 79-80 production models didn't get the sticker because the sticker commemorated the IMSA championship of 1980 and then beyond.

to purchase a sticker for your RX-7 go to eBay. Do a search for “Mazda RX7 racing stickers. You will fine several OEM racing stickers. Click on what you want and eBay will forward everything to me. Be sure you have a complete correct home address on your eBay account.
