After seeing so many gorgeous Coupes debadged, I decided to take the plunge. Initially I was going to take off everything but the 3.5, but it looked so pitiful sitting there on one side (lol) I had to take it off. Now, of course, I'm glad I did.

Just need to switch out my license plates lights, AGAIN.....we put LEDS in today, what we thought were bluish white but turned out to be LED Blue Luckily I didn't have to go anywhere tonight and they are coming out tomorrow and getting replaced with the Pilot Xenons I put inside the car......

Drivin clean........

My friend helped me debadge (while we were waiting for the tails to dry) and I wanted to leave the "ALTIMA" but he took it off anyway hahaha. I think it looks good with nothing. Leaving the burger isn't really my cup of tea but it looks pretty good

Yeah, I'm with ya on that one! If that came off, and I replaced the grille, I'd be that hot mystery car on campus! But hands down, so glad I did it.....helluva lot easier to wash and dry too!

I was going to keep my 3.5 SE on for that reason too. However, there are so few coupes around here, no one even knows what it is (especially now that its debadged) and certainly would not know that you could switch out the mirrors. I've been gettin plenty of looks and lots of compliments on what a good-looking car it is and "oh, by the way, what is it?"......so I'm cool with everything but the burger off. Someone commented earlier that the back would look "empty" or funny with nothing on it and I tend to agree.

first thing I did to my car was debadge it and I had no idea how to do it so my friend with a 350Z and his brother with a G35, all three of us debadged at the same time ahahahaha. GOod thing I did it early on because their cars had a tan when they took it off. Mine still has the nissan burger on it b/c ppl already have trouble figuring out what the car is....sometimes the cops anyone else get people screaming through their window on the freeway asking what kind of car it is?

never been a fan of debadging, ESPECIALLY on a 3.5... but as long as you like it, that's all that matters... it seems like the car looks naked without badges...

It would look even better if you COMPLETELY debadged it.

My 3.5SE and sister's 2.5S Coupes are and when I Dad picked up his '08 Rogue SL FWD, he wanted his done as well. Just last week, my boy ask me to debadge his new '09 Honda Accord Coupe V6.

I bought the little Nismo badge and debating on if I should replace the ALTIMA badge with it, or take all stock badges off and just put the Nismo on the back, decisions. And I agree, I don't like a completely badge-less car, hence the reason I'll keep at least the burger and put the Nismo badge on.
