badges
 

How do I remove the "2.3" badges on the side of my car without damaging paint? Also has anyone seen a chrome "zoomzoom" badge out there?

just lift on them on a warm day, they peel right off - slowly. If there's residue, isopropyl should take it off. Just clean the area with soap and water first so you don't grind any grime into the paint... and of course wash & wax afterwards.
I took the 2.3 badges, side bumpers, and '3' off the car when it was a few weeks old, came off with no issues.

thanks dave. its not that warm here in nebraska anymore so i guess ill have to use a heat gun. I want to get rid of the 2.3 and the side strips too. But for the back, i was hoping to remove the mazda and try to find a chrome "zoomzoom", cut it in half and stick that on so it says"zoom3." In my head I thought it would be a cool idea, but now that Im reading my words it sounds cheesy, even rice. What do you think? Also Im seeing some posts that mention holes behind the "mazda" on the back. Is that why you only took the 3 off?

I wouldn't trust a heat gun, wait until summer, or if you have a heated garage space.
The mazda name and emblem have holes behind them, and that is why that's all that is still on my car from the factory.
I didn't pull mine to look clean, though it definitely does - but to keep rust spots from coming up, which i've seen under side moulding and emblems on previous vehicles.

Zoom3 isn't too ricy, but it's getting close. I guess it depends on the rest of the car, if it's stock, or have shiny rims, tint and other mods. But it's your car, and up to you for what it looks like :)
