Rear Bumper fascia name badges
I am having my rear bumper fascia repainted, and will need the "RX-7" and "MAZDA" name badges. I have found them at Mazda parts sellers by they want $75 for the pair. Does anyone know of a source that is less expensive?
Thanks much, John H. |
I don't know of another source you might try giving Ray a call. Just a heads up the rear Mazda emblem on our cars is a unique (to our cars) size and is no longer available. Sometimes a shop will just snap it off thinking that they can always replace it... which they can't.

I may actually have these in my glove box. I had them removed when my car was repainted about 8 years ago. I'll try to remember to check when I'm at home.

I'm a little late on this, but if you're still looking I did find this:
https://www.shapeways.com/product/7V...li=marketplace A 3D printed version of the "RX-7" lettering. I doubt there's any way it's as good as the OE lettering but hey, it's an option. For 25 bucks I figured I'd take the plunge and see how they are. I can report back with pics when they're delivered. You can get it in various colors too if that's your thing (I chose red 'cause why not). |
Very interested to see how these turn out, I been looking a while for some rear emblems, from junkyards to ebay etc.

If you’re spending the money to have the bumper cover professionally repainted, personally I don’t think $75 is that bad for OEM in the grand scheme of things. |
Following up, got the letters today.
Print quality is good, no real complaints there. They are bigger than the original lettering, which I wasn't expecting. Maybe 1.5 ~ 1.7x the size of the originals. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...fdda4e6169.jpg That leaves it looking just a little too big for my tastes. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...1701bb40c1.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...34003263f0.jpg So there ya go! I may spraypaint them to a darker shade of red and see how they look then, or maybe see how they look on the passenger side dash or something like that. But, tastes differ and if this looks like your thing, by all means go for it! |
