Im picking up my rear corners tomorrow from the paint shop and I asked them if they could paint my engine cover as well because they already had the paint mixed.

My question is this: when painting the cover, is there a way to remove the nissan emblem, or should I just tape it up?

Any help appreciated.

yes it will go back in but be very careful. the tabs are split down the middle so one side might break off. broke 2 of mine but it still clips on and sits fine
