Yes. I am all for the Beautify America Campaign.

Go to your garage and
REMOVE all alphanumeric badges from all cars, IMMEDIATELY.


I really don't need to or want to know that you are driving a Hyundai XGT3000 LSE VTEC AWD etc

Good luck getting them off. I had to sand mine off (the car was being repainted anyway)

If you mean "lose the RX7 insignia", NO, i dont see the point...

If you mean "lose all stickers that mention displacement, type, level of accessories etc, then by all means YES. They dont matter anyway....and they dont add any HP either

Personally, I like sports cars to have as clean a look as possible. The only thing I would leave on it the the emblem usede from 93-96. I think that is the best-looking Mazda emblem out there. Bleow that, i prefer the 97-up emblem to the old "mazDa" plates. I also like the Effini emblem, as well as the Infini sticker. Either of those three, IMO, cleans up the look of the car, yet still identifying it as a Mazda, without the obvious name tag. IMO, the time for manufacturer name plates vanished with the 80's.

Of course, if you have an 89-91 front bumper, there's no hiding the fact that it's a "mazDa" due to its embossing. I think I've seen people sand this down, however. It would have been lots easier had the embossing been done from the outside (indention) instead of the inside (relief), as then it could just be filled in.

But then again, why remove them. In fact, you should probably add more. Remember, each sticker of non-existant equipment adds AT LEAST 5hp. At least, that's how I voted...

OK then, dont know if this'll help ya, but on my TII there are only the "Mazda" and the insignia on the front bumper, and the "RX7" in the back. Nothing else...

I think this is the way to go....

you only need this ONE sticker

i had an RE Amemiya badge i was going to put on my car somewhere, but chucked it in favour of the "subtle minimalism" of one sticker.

got it from ebay for $10 or so, and was worth every penny! :lol

don't like the stock badging & stickers, they make the car look its age, my vote goes on losing the stock ensignia, yet replacing it with your own taste in modernissimo.

Yeah man.....
Lose em, i took them off of my 88 gxl and it really cleaned it up.
I think i may have actually lost about 20 horses from taking them off though....oh well. I tried to post a pic of my rex but i am a retard. The only thing i have on mine is the RX-& emblem on the rear driver's side. Go for it
