I tried to take the Mazda emblem off the trunk,but it left two holes so I put it back on till I can get the holes filled properly. (in reply to slenser) Post #: 31

I just took fishing wire and removed the badge. I then sprayed bumber sticker removal spary to make it clean. Looks as if the car came that way. Hey. Anyone know how to reupolster the side door panel inserts. The cloth is so uncomfortable on your arm. Any suggestion would be great thanks. (in reply to michael91077) Post #: 32

Wouldn't the holes rust or cause water to get in the trunck (atleast a little bit)? (in reply to slenser) Post #: 33

Are there marker holes under the "Mazda" or just the flying M on the new 6's? I planned on leaving the flying M but I was going to take off the "mazda 6" and my local dealers badge. I would hate to take off the mada and have holes left over. Just for the record I use plastic coated fishing line like floss to cut the tape and then pick the leftover tape off with my fingernails and then use goo-gone to remove the leftover residue. I have done this on every car I have owned for the last fre years and it is very easy and takes only about 30 minutes after some practice with no scratches at all. _____________________________ JHope 2006 Mazda 6 I Sport (in reply to SISKANDE) Post #: 34

RE: debadging the mazda - 7/28/2006 3:29:27 PM    JHope   Posts: 7 Joined: 7/27/2006 Status: offline Well Im not a man of patience so I went ahead and debadged the 6. Just in case anyone else is wondering, the 2006 m6i does not have marker holes under the "mazda". I assume that it does under the flying m because most symbols of that nature do. But I didnt take mine off. heres what I did: OK so im having problems with the images so I dont know if it will come out right, if not I apologiza in advance... First I parked the beauty and took my first pictures Then I took about a foot of plastic coated fishing likne and used it like dental floss to saw the foam through which left me with black foam on the car Then I used my thumbs to scrape the foam off Then I used Goo-Gone or Goof-off, its the same stuff on a paper towel of terry cloth and took off the residue. The key here is to take all of the foam off first because the googone makes that stuff nasty, so you want to only have clear glue residue when you use this stuff. then wipe her down with some water or what not because you dont want to let that chemical sit on your car. on the dealer badge, it is vinyl like pin stripes to it peels right off and then I used some goo gone to get rid of the residue.

The rest are decals. I want to replace my "Turbo" decals with the cursive Porsche "turbo" badges. And the front "Mazda" decal with the Efini badge. _____________________________ (in reply to the_gray_mazda6) Post #: 39
