MazdaSpeed Badges

[celdridge]

Ok, I know this might be silly to almost everyone, but i dont care, im askin it anyway.

I was in the mazda dealership today and saw the MSM on the back of it it has a nice metal looking MAZDASPEED Badge, not the plastic looking on that is on our car. Does anyone know where to find this part aftermarket (the dealership wants about 40.00 for it)? I would like to have one for each front quarterpanel. Also, i would like to find a similar metal or metal looking badge to go in the front grill, that says turbo. I like the way the turbo badge looks on the WV beetle, but im not about to go ripping one off the car. Anyone know where to look for things like this?

Thanks,
Chad

as far as the turbo badge goes, I can only suggest a salvage yard. The others, no idea

TooSavy (or something like that) has a VW "Turbo" badge on his MSP...just saw it the other day and it looks nice! PM him and ask where he got it I guess!

You can buy the VW turbo beetle 'turbo' badge at a VW dealership for a few bucks.

[vodapas77]

You are correct they look a lot better than the crappy emblem they put on the MSP. I bought the MSM MazdaSpeed badges for my MSP. In answer to your question, as of right now, they only place you can get them is the dealers. Rosenthal Mazda and Trussville Mazda both sell them for $33-35. The reason they are so much is they only come in the kit form. Which also includes the MX-5 emblem.

You can find some other sites that sell a similar badge but with a black lining. I've seen them on Miata sites and a few RX-7 sites.

Keep in mind if you do get these and the polished Turbo badge off of a VW you're still gonna need to do something about your Flying M emblems. I'm just pulling all mine off and painting them so they'll be the same finish.

[marashka]

myself and Dr.Sound went to VW dealership and paid 16.99 each for VW turbo emblems and they look BAD ASS. they match up perfect to cover up the two holes that protege sign leaves and looks like it belongs there. just be ready for the questions from ppl that WILL follow
-what kinda car is it?
-its a turbo mazdaspeed....( quietly leave the "protege" out) :D

Thanks,

Edit: Anyone know if there are mounting holes under the flying M badge on the back, or is it smooth?

the "turbo" badge is polished, just like the inside of the "mazdaspeed" badge.

originally i had an idea of sanding down the chrome on top of the turbo badge, but leaving it on on the sides of the letters.........to make it match the flat-silver mazda logo on the back,
but as soon as me and marashka put them on, we realized that we should not do anything at all to the badge......IT LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS!

i'm in school right now, but i can take some more full shots of the back if u guys want.

[Captain KRM P5]

sadness :(
i am going to try ebaying the MX-5 portion alone and if that works out well i might sell people here the mazdaspeed part alone ($25?) and keep the mx-5 badge

[Black Majik MSP]

The Mazdaspeed badge on the MSM DOES look cheap. It's the same cheap ass looking chrome badge that they put on all other cars. The only badges that actually look good are no badges IMO. However, if you must have some, the satin badges on the MSP are the best. I don't think the MSP Mazdaspeed badge looks bad, but the rectangle shape isn't cool.

[phantom]

when you took the protege badge off it leaves two holes isn't it? and is the VW turbo badge just a stick on badge over the two holes? or it have the pins that goes into the holes? if it is just a stick on, will it rust over time?

[Dr.Sound]

car is painted with holes already in the trunk lid.
there is no exposed metal.
if u align the badge right, u will cover up the holes.

[phantom]

so, there won't be any chance of rusting in that two holes if I just stick the badge on?

I don't want ending up with rust on the truck lid if the water will goes in under the adhensive of the badge.

[Dr.Sound]

i cant tell u for sure, but from what i saw on my car it should be fine

[TampaBlackMSP]

You should be fine Phantom - the badge backing is very thin and strong - once it's on, it's on!

...shouldn't be a problem.

ok guys, I have the "turbo" badge stick on top of where the "protege" badge is. but now when I look at the two holes under the trunk, they are not completely covered by the turbo badge. I can still see a little bit of light coming in through the holes. now what should I do? I have already tried my best to align the badge to cover up the holes.

can I do something to cover up the two holes underneath? I am worried that water will go into the trunk and rust overtime.

I'd saw the "how-to" post about using the expony and sanding it down. but I've already had the badge stick on and I do not want to remove it (then I can't stick it back!), any suggestions of what I can do to stop water coming into the trunk?


:confused:

Phantom... yea, all three of the ones we did came out the same as well. I just put some electrical tape back there to prevent moisture from coming in.

[II-Savy]

I would use a small small drip of clear silicone(sp).

[www.03msp.com]

Use aquarium glue...

[phantom]

here are some pics, enjoy!!!

[marashka]

i would not worry about it

[phantom]

my badge is not the VW 'turbo' badge. I bought it from vancouver and it's make by some company who makes badges for hondas, toyotas etc. I guess this is just a generic 'turbo' badge. it is made out of plastic (just like the stock 'protege' badge) and it is chrome black. I like the look of it and it does match perfectly with the car and the Mazdaspeed badge.

the words of the badge is thinner then the VW 'turbo' badge, maybe that's why it can't cover the holes perfectly. you can't really see the uncovered portion of the holes from the front unless you raise the trunk and look from underneath then you'll see little light comes in.

so what should I use to cover up the holes underneath again? use glue or electric tape? what glue should I use since I want to be able to remove it later on WITHOUT hurting the paint, or should I just tape it on the back???

let me know what you guys think. ;)

[03MSPRO]

are there pin holes under the stock Mazdaspeed badge? Does the stock Mazdaspeed badge have pins? How about the MSM metal Mazdaspeed bage? Thanks.

[Glowspeedp5]

I am trying to get the miata mazdaspeed badge. So far no dealers have them in stock. They have two holes prungs on back...

[Wingman21]

Hey guys... what do you think about putting a red "T" at the end of "protegé" !?
