Welcome To NicoClub! Very nice Sentra you have there. As far re-moving the chrome moldings I would try useing fishing line. I have re-moved the nissan badges with fishing line and it worked. If you can try taking a closer Picture of the chrome moldings if you can to see how easy/hard it would be.. As far as the vibration at 70mph have you tryed a front wheel alignment? That might help. You can look at Stillen.com and look for CAI.

Welcome aboard! Nice ride you have, you could have a bad tire. Some times its hard to track a vibration, move the tires front to rear one side at a time and see if you feel the vibration move and this may help isolate which one is the problem.

Tell that nissan dealership to get bent and fix the problem. If you bought it new, it should be under warranty anyways. Don't let them d!ck you around.

As for your mouldings, use a heatgun, a putty knife that is wrapped in tape and have some goo gone or lighter fluid ready for after wards.

Start on edge of moulding by applying low to medium heat to area but DO NOT leave heat gun on direct area, use the heatgun like a blow dryer. after the area is warm to the touch, use putty knife to pry moulding from car. Work slowly and be patient. You don't want to ruin your paint. And be easy with the putty knife. Like i said, wrap the edge in masking tape so the edges are blunt and will not cut into the clear coat/paint.

It will take some time but you should be able to take it all off in an afternoon. After they are taken off then go back and look for any residue that was left from the adhesive. Us ethe goo gone or lighter fluid on a cloth to remove the residue. Then wash your car after it is all done.

Also if you need anymore info on your 2.0 myself and a bunch of other guys frequent a forum called http://www.B16sentra.com you will find way more knowledgeable info there then you will here. There are a lot of us B16 owners there :D

Is it just me, or does the new front bumper remind anyone else of the B15?
