How do I explain the MAZDA/RX-7 lettering on the back to a seller or bodyshop? (pic)
A friend of mine had his FD painted and he said that the bodyshop broke the lettering off the back because they were simply plastic pieces. I dont have any lettering on the back of my car, but I want them.
-Can these pieces be taken off easily? (So I can ask someone to take them off of a part out car)
-How can I have a body shop match what they look like and make new ones for me?
Heres what Im talking about (bumming the pic off of gorockrx from his For Sale Page)
Thanks

I got a Q about this too, I just bought the efini badges, how do you put it on? It is sticky, but not sticky enough to stay? It doesn;t have any points either, so it must just stick on somehow. Also the other badges, the front and back, how should you put those on there? Tape, Glue? Those aren't sticky but have the points.

All the emblems and stuff are available new from Mazda. Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda is THE man to get your parts from - he's super knowledgeable, and will get you a very fair price on parts. The new emblems shouldn't be that pricey.
Most emblems come with the double-sided tape already attached - they just peel and stick. If they don't, 3M makes a double-sided molding tape that works GREAT - it's specifically designed for the task. Stays on forever. It's available at pretty much any parts store.

My 94 Touring has holes... I do not believe that Mazda molded the bumpers without the two alignment holes in ANY year or TRIM LEVEL.
In any case, you are asking for Mazda OEM badges, the best place for those is a Mazda Dealer. Ray Crowe from Malloy MAzda in CT is kind to the RX-7 owners out there and will get you whatever you need. (1-888-533-3400)

I paid almost $60.00 from the dealer for the two pieces. Like Meiogirl said the Mazda Badge has prongs and the RX7 badge has tape. per the shop manuel the rx7 badge goes under the mazda badge not on the left side of the car like some do.

You are correct that the "Mazda" text has 3 holes and the "RX-7" badge is taped on.

heres the pic of the 99 emblems... 
i also have a couple (20b-REW) emblems which im trying to decide placement for... if i stick with the stock 93 lettering ill put that oval emblem on the left side (although its sort of an ugly bronz color)... if i can find the 99 lettering then it may look weird on the rear. im just trying to decide where all these things should go...
