Yup! Rollbar actually needs to get installed at some point in time. Not sure if I want to install it before or after painting the car, though.
Parts that are sitting were collected over the winter, but then I bought a house and only recently allowed myself "garage time." Lately its been all maintenance stuff, though. In any event, the car is getting repainted before the badges go on. I just need to decide on a color for the car, then decide the correct badges! I think I've decided all of that, though. Just need to make that final call between repainting a.) red b.) ford olympic blue or c.) silver. (Car is already red... I just hate red cars!)

Type V nose badge in black. Will post pics on car once it's out of the shop!
They've been out less than a month and I'm already redesigning things.
I put a black Prototipo 1 badge on my NB's nose and immediately noticed something was off. The M looked a bit odd. A bit... fat? Not quite right. So I dug through my parts collection and compared it to a real vintage M. It was taller and thinner.
A little bit of work later and a whole tray of colors...
BAM! New Prototipo 1 badges. And new standard colors. You can now get the Pro1 and Pro2 designs in any of these colors for the standard price.
I made up one of these for a buddy's S2000. I've gotta process and post the installed pix. It looks lovely.
Model 60 with a black background. Black is just so... sleek.
The Model 36 badge with a couple changes. LE Red background and an RX-2 logo instead of the standard 1930s Mazda script. And a matching keychain!
Type MS nose badge in bright red. It's a stunner.

I updated the artwork on the Type V badges recently. It is as close to the original as I can achieve. Pretty proud of this. Many thanks to Joel for lending me a badge to inspect for the last couple months.
Compared to the original.

New Badge Colors!!!
The Elanore badge is now available in LE black and red colors as a standard item.
And there's a new color of Prototipo badge - yellow and black. That makes four standard colors for the Pro1 and Pro2 badges.
annnd... just because I was playing with my camera... and this IS a Miata board...
(note, this is just chrome vinyl with a prism pointed at it. It is not rainbow vinyl.)

Adam, do you know of any installed photos of one of your badges on the finish panel near the key lock?
Really loving the matching badge and keychain set and the rear of the car may need the same vintage touch. I was thinking the smaller badge may work perfectly back there. Much easier and most likely less expensive to get a badge from you than actually source a real RX2 badge.
I need installed pics on an nb I want Mazda speed badges for my Mazda speed!
Finally have a chance to update some badges.
Model 80: A new standard design ready for ordering.
Model 60 now comes with either a black background or the original blue.
and a couple of custom colors!
A Prototipo1 set in dark blue
And a JPS-inspired set in gold and black (John Player Special for those who've not yet had morning coffee)
