I wonder why Mazda doesn't put a turbo badge on their CX-7's. Do they sell them for any of the other Mazda models?
Am I lame for thinking it would be kinda cool? I mean, it is a turbo right? :)

Yup, it's a turbo.....Mazda just likes to surprise other drivers while we blow past you! No need for any stinkin' badges!;] There's a site that makes badges or a letter T if you want to put one on. Will have to look for the link.

yeah it's a nice looking badge, though it doesn't mesh well with the brushed look the other MSP badges have.
I may switch out my "MAZDA" badge for one of the beetle "turbo" badges when I .. turbo.
so it'll go:
323 (M) turbo

I was thinking about a "T" or word turbo but it just seems like there's no good spot for it...it would look too cluttered on the back. Maybe the "T" would be ok. Would have to see it.

TURBO BADGE Info:
My son works for Acura, and basically the turbo badge emblem is from the new 07' RDX. And he was able to special order one. He said it will look cooler, so he surprised me last week by putting it on my car and I guess it blends right in! Therefore, I recieved alot of compliments from everyone at work.
If you like I can get one shipped to you for your convenience around $18bucks. Or you can stop by your local Acura dealership and see if you can special order one yourself...

So... what solvent do any of you recommend for removing any grease, wax, soapy film, etc that is on the finish before applying the emblem.
When I used to letter & pinstripe (a zillion years ago) I used to use PrepSol to clean the area, but not gonna go out and buy a bottle of that to put on one badge. Any suggestions...?

The handling charge is not for shipping. It is a one time fee to all orders no matter how large. Shipping starts at 5.50, plus the 4.95 handling charge.

All of these parts are available at any Acura dealer or they can get them in. Anything they would have to special order we would also have to special order.

We could get this if four or more people went in on this.
We would have to trust each other and one person place the order, pay for it and then also collect from the others, the shipping it would cost to send it out to the others.
I am game if others are...
If too many people were interested we would have to break up into smaller groups... just a thought

Why not order an OEM oil filter. You are going to need it for your next oil change anyway. I don't know how much those cost for the CX-7, but atleast you would be getting something you were going to need.

When I was there the parts guy asked me if it was stolen. I told him no and then told him it wasn't even for a acura car. So my guess is that they keep them in stock because of that. I'll have to see if someone wants to jump in and tell me if there is something that I can use to keep my new mod from dissappearing. He said there was double sided tape on it, but that won't keep sticky fingers away.

There is an OEM badge for the Sport20 Familia (the Protege5 in Japan.. also available in sedan form, roughly equivalent to the styling of the Protege MP3). I think it just says "AWD"
edit: wait crap. I think it says "4WD" not "AWD", which makes sense as they had a manual transmission.
I know the Tribute had AWD badging, it would be the raised chrome lettering like your CX-7 OEM badges, dunno if the font/size would match. Head over to the dealership the next time you're there for a new gas cap (lol I couldn't resist) and check it out.

You will have to special order one @ an Acura dealer. They go for about 16-18 bucks, and i guess depending on where you live. Just dont get ripped off by the dealers for a small badge. I had pressured my son to get some badges for a few CX owners who wanted one here. My son is back full time in college, and now and just occasionaly works for Acura p/t. :)

According to this thread: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2789586 I'd say yes.

Hi Wendy. That is HOTTT. So where did you get the Turbo badge? My dealership, Mazda of Naperville, is actually in the same lot with Acura so I will check it out when I stop by this week. If I'm unsuccessful, would you mind getting it for me and then we will figure out mailing (I'll send you a check and mail it out). Thanks much.

Shaz, I actually got mine through someone else on the forum.....some of the posts have a part #......I guess just order through your nearest acura dealer! It looks great and it looks like Mazda put it there.

I don't understand why y'all are putting these on--they're a pain in the a$$ to wax around, tip off everyone that you're packing serious heat, and they aren't even real Mazda parts.
I hate myself, but I ordered one.
I was JUST saying to my husband "I'm not sure why everyone wants one" and then I saw your reply -- LOL
Me? I refused to buy one, especially from Acura. Few people are the Acura forum were pretty snotty about the CX-7, so it's a matter of principle ;)
I'd like to DE-emblem the car, not add more of them (poke)

I'm with you. Too much chrome on the rear IMO. I wouldn't mind taking off the Mazda sign and the logo above the license plate. Can it be done and how does one fill in the holes if any.
Also, anyone know of replacements for what is in my opinion the cheap looking rear light bezels?

I just tried the website, went to the 2007 Acura RDX link on the leftside. Their website stated that "2007 Acura RDX Parts-Coming Soon!". Additionally, just keyed in part # 75725-STK-A01, which is the part number for the Turbo emblem. That part isn't carried.
So, if you have additional, better information, I'd surely appreciate it!

No, i inquired from 2 different dealers (both have different prices so it does not actually have a standard price) & both didnt bother asking if i have an RDX...
Hahaha....I got it for free. I ordered from an Acura dealer and when I was about to pay, the parts guy asked how I liked my RDX...of course I lied and said it is awesome. He then give me an Acura RDX Accesories catalog with the TURBO badge inside and he said...you don't have to pay, have fun and congratulations to your RDX

I'm sort of mixed on whether to bother putting one on. Just remember that you are advertising that you have a turbo. If you get pulled over and are borderline on getting a ticket, the officer may notice the emblem and lean towards giving you the ticket. On the other hand it is small and may not get noticed.

This is being nit-pickey, but the CX-7 isn't 4WD - it's AWD. Bit of difference there.
As for the placement of the badge, I suppose it could go under either the Mazda badge or the CX-7 badge, right side or left side...

Just scanned the CX-7 drivers manual...Mazda seems to use both terms interchangably. The manual uses the term "4WD" in a couple titles to sections and when distinguishing the difference between 2WD and 4WD in certain tables. However, when it gets into protracted discussion about the operation of the vehicle, it uses the term AWD exclusively.
Just another 2 cents from moi.

To each is own but I have no immediate desire to get a turbo decal. I know what I have under the hood and who cares anyway. I was almost gonna get a vannity plate CX7TURBO but after fighting the intial impulse I then decided what for? I haven't ruled out a vannity plate but I'm not sure I want anything CX7 theme based because then I might have to change plates if I decide to by something else. It isn't that expensive to get new tags but when I think of the yearly fees plus the cost of the tags it makes little sense. Guess that's why they call them vannity plates.

That TURBO decal is very much different from what most members here have. I'm sorry but it doesnt look stock cuz of the different font. Doesn't really fit with the CX7 badge.

OMG you guys are out of control. Turbo badges? 4WD badges? You gonna put a "2.4T" badge on it too? (confused)
Seriously, it's not even "4WD", it's "AWD".

The turbo badge is pimp... (drive2) but I do agree with you on the 4WD badge... It should not be on this vehicle.

Well, that picture is of a stock Japanese CX-7. So, Mazda put that sucker there and it is their marchitecture to call it 4WD.

Yeah, but you're not in Japan and that still doesn't make it "4WD".

Yes, but I have no interest in the 4WD badge. Also, 4WD and AWD are essentially the same, no? Here in the US we assume 4WD means we can lock the hubs and go. AWD is two axles with limited slip at best, but all 4 wheels are active. Pretty much the same. Probably get flamed for this, but 4 wheels with torque is 4WD, no? We cannot assume that the US definition (or yours) of 4WD precludes that the Mazda is not a 4WD capable vehicle. But, they were smart enough to market the CX-7 stateside as AWD. So, they appear to be aware of the unique US definition.

I just recently received a survey from Mazda, and one of the questions was do you wish your CX-7 have the 4/AWD badging if it so equipped. Guess, Mazda is thinking about putting the badge on the car, perhaps starting with 2008?

Accurate comment considering that bigger is not better (at least in the badge world). And, Killer is one who would remove every badge possible, not add. :)
I, for one, looked at the Porsche copy badges, but they were way too big, did not match font or thickness and looked like an Autozone add-on. I really like the Acura badge since it is the same thickness, a very close font and is very small. It did not scream "turbo" like the big badge, it stated it a little more subtly. Just, FYI, "the CX-7 has a turbo" instead of "TURBO CX-7 here !!!!"

Oh I meant to say this earlier, but I just put mine on 2 days ago and had not even had it on for 24 hours before I got some guy in a new WRX with a LOUD BOV revving and poppin his bov at me. (lol) weirdos...
Then my friend gave me crap for having the badge when it "doesn't warrant it because all CX-7s are turbo, so it's not like a turbo porsche which deserves to wear the badge". But what does he know--he has a bunch of Mazdaspeed miata accessories on his '01 LS miata! (lol)

I ordered mine off of Ebay... $12 shipped with buy it now option. Got it today and put it on. Looks really nice.
Now the wife and I just want to debadge the "Mazda" logo. Unfortunately it is not just adhered on like most cars. They use 3 pegs that go into clips. Sooooo we have to wait til we feel like having it filled and painted at a body shop. Going to get quotes sometime this week.

I wonder why Mazda doesn't put a turbo badge on their CX-7's. Do they sell them for any of the other Mazda models?
Am I lame for thinking it would be kinda cool? I mean, it is a turbo right? :)
I'm not going to read through 11 pages to see if anyone else has said this or not, but Mazda used to put turbo badges on the turbo version of their cars that were sold with or without turbos. The CX-7 is only made/sold with a turbo, so badging it is redundant.

My wife was able to buy an 07 cause of the $5k rebate. I liked the car so much, I bought an 08 with the Mazda S plan and got $2500 off. The car is so much fun to drive.
Tomorrow they're installing my Sirius. I'm looking to buy some DVD headrests but I'm afraid the large size may cause a blindspot over my left shoulder.

I saw an Acura today at work and spotted the Turbo emblem. I think it looks better on my car! They also placed the sh-awd emblem on the lower right side of the rear bumper. I didn't think it looked good.
