I am considering doing this as well. Though I was thinking of taking off the Nissan badge as well. Is this possible or does it have holes behind it?

Also, how hard would it be to take off the pinstriping on the car?? (gold pinstripe + red coupe = FAIL)

as for how it'll look for the OP, what looks better than a nice clean body?

gold on red?? Im so sorry to hear that... gold and red FTL...I would think pin striping is just a decal, so shouldnt be that hard (in a relative sense... Im sure it would still suck)

it definitely looks very clean, thats for sure. I am convinced! I think I will leave the emblem though

I hate Emblems. Nissan, Altima & 3.5 SE V6 all went. I also de-badged my sister's 2.5S.

*used my Petro Points card to remove them.

A lot of people love it. Cleaner look.

I de-badged my back end, and looking at taking off the Emblem on the front. just not sure if it is bolted on the grill or use the same method as done on the back.

I know it is just the chrome emblem but don't like the shinny crap.

any ideas how to remove the Nissan badge from the grill?

I'm keeping it on, but if I did have to choose, I would keep the Nissan emblem. It's supporting the company at least. :p

I would not use a CC to debadge as this could introduce scratching. Most of us used a hairdryer to heat up the emblems, then dental floss to get behind them. Leaves a little residue, but if you heat it enough it just peels right off without too much cleanup. Good luck!

very nice front grill man! nice work. that looks hot as hellI have access to a heat gun as well as my bf is car salesman and has access to all the goop and products to detail cars (although I have always used goo gone for this type of thing)Also will need to take off the dealer sticker, and hoping that is not difficult.

-- good to hear petro points cards are good for something

I like the nissan emblem staying - but I love nissans, so that is just me. although I love the idea of making the grill one less chromed - AWESOME job on that again

i blasted mine off with a 1550 psi power washer....

Post by **NissNEZ08** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 6:47 am

I debadged mine with the exception of the Nissan Emblem, which I think will go as well. I used Dental floss to remove mine. Took about ten to fifteen mintes to get it done.

Here you go...
