Mazda Badge and P5 Badge on the rear: Adhexive or Pins?
 
I'd like to remove the Mazda badge. Is this sucker held on with adhesive and can remove or is it pins that leave holes?

Unfortunately, it has pins, and leaves holes. I pulled my Mazda one off, and alas there were nasty holes behind.

Aww F-me... You gotta be kidding...

I really REALLY wanted to pull the Mazda badge. Like the rest of the back, just not that one.

Damn, time to go sulk in the corner then.

I wanted to do the same thing. :( That Mazda badge on the back looks very squished in that space... it shouldn't be there.

Mazda's habit is to have the "Mazda" badge with pins and the car's name badge with adhesive. As the car's name varies with the marketplace (Protege or Protege-5 in north america, 323 or 323F in europe/australia/new zealand, and Familia or Sport-20 in Japan), and those badges are installed at the entry ports (our badges are made in the US) it doesn't make sense a car with two holes in it...but the Mazda badge is installed on the assembly line...hence the more secure pins.

The Protege name also has two alignment holes behing it.

Check my sig. which shows what it looks like without them. I like it.

Do they just pop off?????? or do you break them when you pull them off???

Whoa, what did you do, have the holes filled and the trunk painted? I like that look myself, I'd like just the Mazda center logo.

We welded the holes, and a piece in behind to make sure it stays. Then we sanded. Removed the spoiler. And repainted the trunk.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist with some things :D .

Thanks for the compliment.
