Out, out, damned rivet!
Oy! In the process of removing the badging on my new mazda3, I discovered that the Mazda logo on the hatch is riveted, and not just glued on. That means that the standard hair-dryer + dental-floss + alcohol will not remove it. Otherwise, the 2.3 logos on the doors and the ‘3’ part of the Mazda logo are gone. Why would you just rivet that part? Odd.

A couple reasons. I’ve always been a minimalist, and prefer clean lines over the clutter of “words” on my car. Second, I don’t find any value in the notation of the size of my engine on the car, so it’s gone. The car looks better without them, and they’re really just advertising.

Just curious, why do want to remove them so much? Dealer’s stickies are one thing, but why the rest?
