use fishing line behind the emblem and 'saw' thru it slowly. let it sit in the sun or use a hairdryer to heat the glue up.

comes off no problem. even if you leave it sit in the sun, you can probably peel it off by hand.

I think this is the preffered method of de-badging your Versa. Its really easy to do and you don't have to worry about it scratching your car.

It will leave some residue behind, but just pour some Goo Gone on a rag and scrub it off. Looks really clean!

Thanks all for your replys. Did it Sunday and used the fishing line method. Worked great not a single scratch. Used goo gone to get rid of stickiness. Found that the dealership stuff was just a sticker and was able to peel that of with my fingers.

I de-badged my Audi A4 and used a blow-dryer and dental floss.

Quick question - my Versa is an '07. Should it be okay to de-badge or do you think that the paint will have faded to a point where I will now see the outlines of the the old badges?

Thanks
PAUL

Hey - I was just admiring you car. It is garage kept - but out in the sun during the day. We live in Sacramento, so it is very sunny. The A4 is much more babied. I will remove one letter and see what it looks like - I can always put it back. Thanks for the input.

I was not going to do this, but it there was a lot of wax residue in between the Nissan emblem, so I grabbed my dental floss, and heat gun. Daddy likes!

Looks clean! I am definitely going to take my versa emblem off. At first I was thinking of painting the letters black, but then it still looks unbalanced with the other side. I'm thinking of taking off the Nissan emblem, painting it black, then the letters silver and putting it back on.
