I am looking to debadge every logo on my rear hatch but dont want holes and every photo I have seen shows the nissan logo still on the hatch is this because there are two holes behind that emblem? Any help would be appreciated

Just debaged my Versa tonight. Getting the double sided tape off was a pain in the butt. One word of advice, keep it warm with the hair dryer when peeling the tape off. It'll make getting it off a lot easier than it would be if it were cold.

how's it look?

I was going to tint my rear tails but never found any night-shade locally. So I may do the de-badge instead tomorrow.

In the old days, badges, script, letters and numbers were made of metal and riveted or bolted on, thus the holes. For decades now, most badges and logos are plastic chrome stick ons.

Easy to get off and as suggested use a hairdryer and they peel right off. Unless you're in Arizona in spring or summer. Just leave your car outside and peel off at noon.

There will be no holes so go for it.

Mine is an SL but SL badges weren't applied to many 2007's from the factory. So I have an SL without the SL designation, even though I didn't take anything off the car.

Really? My car is from Arizona and I do have the SL badging...weird they would do that or they just peeled off in the summer like you said at the dealership

It is peculiar.

It's possible they applied them in the middle of the production run so some had them and others didn't. Maybe they weren't in stock when they started manufacturing them the first year but got them in later.

hehe... It is hot enough to peel them off in the summer without any other heat source but the sun. I have done this to another vehicle of mine, but so far they haven't fallen off by themselves yet.

It's just stuck on with some adhesive.

Some heat and fishing line should do you fine.Than get some Goo Gone and rub away all the stickiness.

Looks clean after debadged. Not sure if I want to do this because I'd like people to know what kind of Nissan I drive. I mostly see Altimas and Muranos around here.

I know this is an old thread but this is one of my favorite exterior mods. I have a 2010 sedan(basic model) and I just de-badged it. Here are a couple of pics...

So I guess this is the exact opposite of the topic name. but what do you guys suggest if I want to add something to my car like an SL or whatever the case is?

Superglue?

3M tape? will it hold in the rain?

also considering If you mess up with superglue, your royally screwed...

any opinions?

get some double-sided tape from Wal-Mart on a roll for $1. it's cheap and easy to fix or take off in the future.

I would suggest going to your local store and finding their section with 3M tape. They have a double sided weather resistant tape that holds through rain. It cost me like $3 for a roll and I only needed a couple pieces for my eyelids that stick to my headlights

I havent seen any tutorials but it's fairly easy. There are no holes behind the emblems so you're good. I also had the Dealership sticker and removed it the same way...I used a spatule to remove the VERSA emblem, then removed the tape residue with a blade and sticker remover(be careful not to scratch the car). Before/after pics above(silver sedan).

A spatula? that sounds dangerous to the paint. don't think I'll be able to do it that way. my hands are not real sturdy and I'm sure I'll scratch the paint with that method. are there any other methods that may be a little safer? saw something about fishing line. how does that work?

I've never tried the fishing line but the tape behind the letters is wide enough to where you can fit the spatula in between. Just be careful, take your time.
