Guys, can I plasti dip this? It has sensors right? thanks for the help!

I wouldn't. Your radar unit is behind that.

no sensor anywhere near the emblem, you`re safe. I followed the tips in the how-to for that exact task (found in the how-to section, incidentally LOL) and it was really easy. My advice: make a one time use tool out of a coat hanger (I used an old bicycles spoke) to get to the tabs on the emblem, lest you risk breaking them. (a new emblem is like $17 so even if you break it, it`s not the end of the world)


edit (and what is it with the thumbnails not opening lately?): Once the thumbnail opened I see that emblem looks different than any I have seen in person. If so, disregard my above advice.

if you have the radar cruise, sadly you cannot cover it without loosing the function. that being said, I have seen modified ones in japan that are of the "evil M" variation

I ended up plasti dipping the chrome V instead of the emblem, looks great ... in my eyes

Here you go! I had to do the same thing to the fog light housing too because they were a little lighter than the plastidipped V

Do we have the same emblem? comes with radar sensor?

I don't think they're the same. Yours look like it's flat and the parts surrounded by the chrome logo has a glass/plastic plate. Mine doesn't have that plate, it's just a hole there and at the bottom of the hole is just hard plastic.

Mine doesn't have any of the driving assist radars, I think the only radar mine has is the rain sensor and ambient light sensor.

Did you take the trim off or plasti dip it in place. I just did my fog light trim rings.

 

[DCNOS18]

I took my whole front bumper completely off when I did mine. It came out really well. I also did the fog trim, the Mazda emblem, and the wheels, and the roof rack.

If you are trying to get an Evil M, try this:
02-13 MAZDA6 EVIL 'M' FRONT GRILLE EMBLEM BADGE - CHROME

Warning, it took my dealer some modification to get it to fit a 2017.

You'd be better off just putting a piece of tint over it than plasti-dipping. The front emblem like yours looks so cool the way it is, why mess with it??
