Mazda "Wings" Emblem fitment in rear "Toilet Bowl" location

My car is getting some body work done including a 99 Spec bumper. The 99 Spec bumper comes with the Mazda "Wings" emblem (right? I haven't actually seen it because it was shipped right to the body shop). I still have the "Toilet Bowl" emblem in the back. Does the "Wings" emblem fit in the same place? Actually, I'm assuming that there are holes that the stock emblem fits into. Are there holes or is it just glued on?

Can I just go to a local Mazda dealer and get a Wings emblem that will fit back there?

Thanks.

My car has a stock body and I recently swapped badges. These are the part numbers for the "M" badges; they drop into the stock holes:

F141-51-731A rear
F138-51-731 front

These are the actual '99 spec parts according to Mazda Motorsports.

So a US Mazda dealer will recognize those part numbers then?

Can anyone confirm whether the 99 Spec OEM bumper comes with the emblem?

I just had my car re painted ( black ) and replace the stock emblems with the Effini emblems (in black) and the RX 7-Effini logo. It looks great and keeps 'em guessing.

No, the 99spec OEM bumper does not come with the emblems.....I bought the complete front end and it didn't come with the emblem...

Yeah, I had this thought myself, but now with the 99 Spec, I will have a SpiritRex7 Plate on the front proudly stating RX-7, so I don't know how many I will fool anymore.

"Hey is that the Porsche Rx-7!?"

Hmmm...I guess the decision is Efini or Wings...hmm

I have the Efini emblems all around on my car including the one that says it right under "RX-7" on the back and a guy a car station came up asked who the hell Efini was because he never heard of a car made by them.

Here's a preview for you. Mine are just attatched to the paint using the tape, I had the old ones removed and holes filled in, and later decided on the newer ones, front and rear, but would never drill into my car to refit them, so I snapped off the tabs and just used the tape. See sig.

I'm also deciding wether I should go with wing or the efini eblum as well... But then I again I'm annoyed by people asking me constantly who makes the car so I'm probably going for the wings.
