Group Buy - ES 2.0 Badge/Emblem

[kopp0041]

damaster has created some killer badges for our cars. I am currecntly in discussions with Mitch from protege5online, for him to carry these badges on his site. We need to get together an initial buy in of at least 45 badges. The recomendation is to have three badges for your car, one for either side, and one for the rear. The estimated cost (not including shipping) would be $25 for three badges, half the cost it would be if we did not have Mitch helping us. This is what he had to say, "Id love to offer this because I think the MP5 badges are great & are a great asset to my site (IM the only place that sells them & I sell a ton) so I love the aspect of adding something new like this". The badges would look like this:



Please let me know if you are interested in getting in on this initial buy in.

Beg pardon, Seldom, but this doesn't meet rice requirements for several reasons.

First of all, I'm going to assume these are the same style of factory-equipment badges that were used only in 2001, to be placed on the front fenders.

(Some quick history: That year, both 1.8- and 2.0-liter engines were offered. The DX and LX came standard with the 1.8, but the LX could be ordered as a special "LX 2.0" model with the bigger engine and badges to suit. Since the ES had been using the 2.0 engine since 1999 anyway, it too was given an "ES 2.0" badge -- but only for that season. Long explanation, but easy!)

Secondly, a badge by itself does not constitute rice. Making a badge three times its normal size, or applying it to a car that doesn't qualify (like one of the 1.8-liter Proteges), is a different story. It depends on the intentions of the owner.

Finally, I think this is a cool idea -- and it would be best not to drive off fellow Mazda owners by instantly accusing them of ricerhood.
