Its just sticky tape holding it on, heat it a little sitting in the sun (or a hairdryer) and go at it with some dental floss and it will come off...

Sanded, primed, and painted like any other part.

I did that with my rear burger. I took the emblem off, sanded it down a lil. Taped off the "nissan" with tape and an x-acto knife, sprayed it a couple of times with duplicolor black chrome, removed the tape from the "nissan" part, and added a coat of duplicolor clear. Looks ok, its different. Looks almost like a gunmetal color, not so much "black chrome".

well, i had the bumper replaced because of an accident...and the bodyshop ended up painting the difuser. I sorta liked it, so i kept it white.

I like the look of both, the emblem matches the blacked tails really well, and the defuser is different, but looks good on the white car.
