anyone remove there mazda badge?
Hi guys i am considering getting a protege as my next car and was wondering if any one has removed the front grill badge,and was there holes left in the grill or is it stickered on.I ran a search on the badge and people only seem to remove the rear emblems. Any info on this would be appreciated thanks.

I took the front badge off of my P5 and it is held on by adhesive. It does, however, have 2 guide holes. After I paint the grill the emblem is going back on,(I may paint the emblem a diffrent color).
Hope this helped.

Its really not noticeable unless your right up to the car. I took mine off before, but you still have the grill molded to the shape of the emblem on. It doesnt look that clean. But maybe you'll like it.

Yeah - removing the front badge would look "dirty" - not clean 
.
The grille is molded to accept the badge, so all you'd succeed in doing is making it look like someone swiped yours.
Unless, of course, you do a mesh grill over the whole thing - then that might look decent.

Re: anyone remove there mazda badge?
I got a 2000 Protege DX and I removed it to get it painted. Is not a sticker, it has two safety locks in the back you gotta be careful when you remove it, then it has like a little black plate. (the one that makes the background look black) And yes if you take it off you'll end up with two wholes. (well... rectangles)]
