Gasp! So are there not any holes there for it either? I wonder if the holes are added when the badge is applied or if this specific model does not have pinholes for the badges like the cx30?
I have a unicorn
I kept looking at my rear gate badging and swore it was missing something. I confirmed that I am indeed missing the skyactive-g/turbo badge on the lower right rear gate. Doesn’t bother me, I just think it’s funny how things like this get missed on an assembly line.

Badging removal
The AWD and TURBO badging was easy to remove. Having some problems with the sky active badge. Any one know if there are locator pins on this badge and then holes in the lift gate? If so, guess this isn’t coming off. CX30 will be next. Looks a lot cleaner without the plastic letters all...

This provides a good picture of the silly way they did the CX-30 badge with the holes😟😔Badging removal

Dipped the rear emblem and badges
I forgot how much I dislike dipping, LOL. The Mazda emblem, CX30 and SkyActive Badge came out great. It was the AWD and TURBO badge that gave me problems. They are so dang small. The A and D sill have dip in them and the TURBO I had to peel..........so I purchased a new Turbo and AWD badge...

I wonder if the owner dipped the bigger AWD and Turbo emblems they ordered off of Amazon or left them as is. Since I am missing the Skyactive and Turbo badge already, I may just order the larger AWD badge to replace the smaller factory one and leave the right side clean. I ordered a Hyperdip emblem kit (shadow black) and plan on doing both front and back Mazda emblems (the front emblem housing is not the radar on the CX-50), the CX-50 emblem, and if needed the AWD badge I order off of Amazon. I could try to dip the small AWD from the factory, but as the CX-30 owner had issues getting the A and D cleaned out, I think just replacing it with a bigger one is easier. I'm debating if leaving the right side clean is going to look weird and leave the rear gate looking unbalanced visually. Thoughts?

Most of the topics on that form since I'm a member there as well I see it quite frequently they are plasti dipping the badges. However I agree with your idea and I was thinking to do the same that it would be easier more convenient and longer lasting to just buy already blacked out badges. And I do think you should at least get the turbo badge to put on the right side to help balance it out and I think it saying it's a turbos kind of cool too lol so you might as well buy a blacked out one for that as well.

I debadged today too, but I didn't try to remove the rear Mazda logo. I can't believe how ridiculously easy it was to remove the other badges though! I probably didn't even need to use the little bit of heat that I did. The only one I had trouble with was the zero in 50 as it has such a rounded edge it was difficult to get under. I used this debadging tool, then a little bit of Goo Gone Automotive Spray Gel to clean things up.
I'd post a pic, but it looks identical to the one above
