Congrats on the new car. Look forward to better pictures. Was it difficult removing the badging?

removed badges for 3 reason 1- i hated the dealership badge on there 2- Is it a v6 or a 4cyl ???3- some many people ask what it is cause it doesn't have the altima badge on it (edited out all the LOL's)i just really like it that way but to each his own ya know lol and as far as removing takes about 20 secs high heat blow dryer on each one then pull off with dental floss and after it's all off just take soap and water to remove the left over glue it took maybe 30min to get all 4 badges off and clean up all the gook

I liked it better when you could tell if an altima was 4 or 6 cylinder by the number of exhaust pipes. Starting with the current sedan all altimas now have dual exhaust.

If you look closely, the exhaust tips on the 2.5 and 3.5 are different.

Plus the badges clutter up the nice lines of that car. I think it looks nice.

I saw a white coupe just the other day over here in Orlando. It's the only one I've seen in real life so far.

That's exactly why I'm going to debadge mine. Especially since I use a polisher...they don't like extra things getting in their way.

do the pinstripe ASAP i would say get a wet cloth and rub around the end it should loosen and just peel it off like a sticker(as long as yours is stuck on) if that doesn't work take a blow dryer and keep it on it for a few secs then start peeling off slowly it's really easy but you gotta do it before that thing bakes into your paint lol
