Brand new Jap badges
Just took a trip back home to Australia and picked up some badges to "dress up" the car. Let me know what you guys think.

Right hand drive. Right handers from aus. do not count. To be a true SAVANNA they must be RHD from japan that were meant for the jap market. In japan rx-3s were svanna's also, and were not badged rx3. rx2's were called and badged "Capella". Im pretty sure the R100 was called the "Famalia".

The JDM corners have a small square of white facing the front thats used as a driving light, and the rest is orange for the turn signal. The US corners are all orange only.

like them all on there, except the Savanna RX-7 one.
That's like putting a Type-R badge on a Civic DX.

What the hell? So slapping an Enfini badge on a 3rd gen is ricey? I don't understand this, Savanna is the name that was given to the 1 gen series in Jap. I just wanted to add a little extra flavour.
Sorry if my comment offended you in anyway, but it is my opinion.
Your RX-7 is not a "true" Savanna. You know, the type that actually came with that badge on it?
Also, I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but the true Savannas also had the side view mirrors on on the sides of the hood... like so:

As I understand it Savannah was a brand, not a model. Just as Toyota and Honda created Lexus and Acura, Mazda sold the RX-7 under the Savannah name in Japan as a Savannah RX-7, not a Mazda Savannah - dig? 3rd gens were sold as Efini, not Mazda, and Mazda toyed briefly with creating an Amati brand for high-end luxury sedans before abandoning the idea as not economically viable.
FWIW I had Savannah badges on Pam and they looked great.

Not to mention it still says MAZDA on the front end...
As for Efini, the FD still has the Mazda logo on the front and rear as well... so I believe your theory is false.
They are models, not brands.
God, that is one SEXY ***.

Im pretty sure RX3 was a savanna.
The rx3 was badged savanna in japan, it did not have any rx3 badges on it as far as i know, on the rear quarter panel it had "Savanna"

I'm pretty sure that the FD sold under both Efini and Mazda names in Japan.
And I agree with Mantis on this one. The 1st gen you show there is the UK. In Japan, I think they sold them under the Savanna name, not Mazda.
