[GarageAlpha] Modern RX-7 Emblems!





So this is a project I've had on the radar for a while, but never had time to dedicate to it. Personally, I'm a big fan of the 99Spec conversions on the FD3S. That means, 99Spec Front Bumper, 99Spec Rear Wing, 99Spec Steering Wheel and yes, 99Spec Flying M Badges. The one thing that was always a bit out of place after all that was the block letter 'RX-7' emblem on the rear of the car. I mean, I like it, I do. BUT, it kinda felt like a bit of a hold over from the FC3S.

I always thought the RX-8 font was a bit better match and yes, you could buy an RX-8 badge, buy a CX-7 badge and viola! BUT, those badges were a bit too big and not even really a perfect match letter to letter (I know, I'm getting picky... but if not for picky, we wouldn't be here, now would we?). Sooooo, to solve this - we made our own!

These are modeled after the emblems found on recent Mazda vehicles, however, instead of just making a direct copy, we took the time to manufacturer these at about 20% the size in order to make them look a bit more natural on the rear of the FD3S. Made from ABS plastic with chrome finish and 3M automotive grate adhesive on the rear. These RX-7 Emblems are a 5 minute install and will update your car tremendously.

Will this cover the two emblem holes in the bumper on that side?

Nice idea, I never ran the rx8 and cx7 badges as they are just too large and look odd but this sounds perfect. Any pictures of it fitted to an FD?

Gotta admit, these are awesome! What did the FD landscape really look like before GA existed?

Maybe it looked like they actually had customer service and didn't lever customers in the dark for months after dropping thousands of dollars.

I believe I've got 10 unanswered emails about a very expensive dented price of titanium they I ordered more than 6 months ago. They said I could return it but no contact for over a month now after I asked how to return it.

@TwinCharged RX7 Would you mind creating a thread about it in the buying/selling feedback section, so the mods could help address the situation? Thank you.
