Correct front and rear emblems?
I have a 92’ FD I believe R1, but what are the correct from and rear emblems? It came de-badged, and I’ve seen a few different emblems, all stating front/rear, but which one is period correct? There are 3 that I’ve been seeing, the regular Mazda emblem, efini emblem and the mascot emblem, thanks for any help!

The correct emblem was the "toilet bowl" emblem, Mazda used that for a short time in the '90s. That was true in the US.

In Japan they had the inverted triangle Efini badge, in Japan it was sold as the "Efini RX-7". I believe that was a sub-brand Mazda was doing, similar to how Toyota makes Lexus.
The Winged "M" badge was on the '99 and up RX-7's in Japan, they changed it to the Mazda RX-7 in Japan at that point.

What emblem you put on is really up to you. If it has the 99 exterior parts it may be worth going full 99 with the Winged M logos.
Of the 3 I prefer the Winged M, I think it's a sharp looking logo and it's also nice to have people realize the car is a Mazda.

I like the looks of the efini emblem. Those emblems fit in the same two holes as the original toilet-bowls on the front and rear S6 bumper covers. I also got the rear "efini" badge which just uses adhesive (doesn't use pins), but covered the two badge holes for it in the rear bumper cover.
And I think it's fun when a conversation get's going by people asking "What kind of car is that?"
