Emblem Theft

Do FD's have a problem of getting there mazda badges stolen? Or better yet, those who put Efini ones on? Back when I had my ITR, it was a big problem, and I eventually had to shave them.

I don't think rx7s are common enough for it to really be a problem. There's only like 2 within 25 miles of me and I know them both so if they jerked my emblem They'd be dead. It might be different in cali though. seems like there's an awful lot of you guys from there. I have 1 extra efini emblem if anyone wants it. brand new with black background.

We don't have that problem, most FD owners respect each other and don't need to steal. People with Hondas get theirs stolen all the time around here though, thats pretty common.

Exclamation

In New Zealand its a big problem our club guys lose them all the time.

I walked into a servo bought something walked back out and some punk had stole my front efini badge.

Seen a few FC and Old schooler with efini badges might have to go get them back.

Theiving ***** ******* !

I guess thats the diference between enthusistists and guys who have RE cars to be cool.

Burn the ******* !

I've never had mine stolen either..

Think of how many Volkswagon's were missing emblems back in the 80's when the beastie boys first came out..

Might sound stupid, but I know a lot of people lose the 7 in their emblem. The RX-7 was not on mine when I bought the car, so I tried to find some used, but a lot of people didn't have the 7. Weird. So I got the Efini, haven't had a problem. I just know that if they are gone someday, the first Civic owner with efini symbols I see will die

I was at a Starbucks with another FD owner, we both have efini emblems. That night they stole his and left mine. I was parked two cars away go figure.

It's some punk kids that look and say wow cool emblem I'm gonna steal it an put it on my ford Focus.
