Question Need Advice: Front Emblem or NO Emblem?

Hey everyone,

I've been having a hard time figuring out what I should with the front bumper. I can't decide whether the bumper needs a front emblem or looks fine without it. If I do install an emblem it'll be the "efini" emblem to match the one I have in the rear. Here's a couple pictures of the car:






PLEASE provide me with some input .

Thanks in advance,

Rizwan

Well, in the air force its common practice to either wear ALL our ribbons or NONE, so since you already have some in the back, i would say compliment the front as well.

Car looks clean! However, the FD looks naked w/out emblems IMO.

Efini, since I've changed all my emblems (even the wheel caps), people wonder what kind of car I have. I even changed my stereo system, so nothing on my car says Mazda haha.

Don't forget to shave down the Mazda located on the calipers. Then it will truely be Mazdaless. Only thing that says Mazda on mine are the calipers and my Mazdaspeed stuff.

Crap! Forgot about the calipers. Okay, that is the only thing that is going to say mazda haha. Or when I get the bar, if you feel like looking under the car, it'll say it there too haha!

You guys act like you are embarrassed that it is a Mazda and that someone might find out.

Not embarrassed, it is just the facts of what Mazda badges are left of my car.

No emblem. Did you get your wheels installed yet? Would like to see pics and know size and offset.

Thanks for the input everyone! I'm still undecided but leaning toward no emblem for the time being. I'll just see what happens over the winter and continue asking for advice. Hopefully, I can make up my mind before spring-time.

Chinaman: I'm getting my tires mounted and balanced on to my wheels, but I won't have them put on the car for another month or so. I ran into some issues with my engine and so it looks like the car will be down until spring. I've decided to go a completely different route and NO it's not LSx . I'll have those pics posted though as soon as I get the car into the bodyshop. I'll keep you updated.

Later,

Riz
