Hi all, I have tried to use search but I can not find any write-up on how to remove the stock front/back Mazda emblems.

Do I have to use a blow-dryer to loosen the adhesive or are the emblems pinned down onto the body?

Appreciate any help on this. BTW, I would like to get some Efini emblems to replace them.

well... ive got some good news and bad news for ya

the good news is that the emblems are in fact held on by a double sided tape but by now the tape is so old that its barely holding them on. u wont have a prob prying them off

the bad news is that both the front and rear emblems have two clips each at the back holding them on as well. you might be able to get to the front emblems clips without removing the bumper (i wasnt). you'll just have to try, the bumper is a pita to remove. now heres the really bad news, i had to completely remove my rear bumper to get to the clips on it. this is 3 times harder than removing the front.

good luck
