should i shave the emblems off the back of my car? i shaved the emblems off all my cars except the max because i drive it the most, being black + shaved emblems + tinted windows= getting pulled over all the time, but in my max the front windows are not tinted and not sure what it will look like, bot the e55 and gs have shaved emblems and look great

No holes, just adhesive. Use fishing line and Goo Gone and you'll get it all off. You may also need to polish the trunk afterwards.

I shaved my 95 and left it for a long time. Then I went with your Max emblem. Sexy IMO. And I do not want to hear ANYTHING about the tail lights or anything else. My max is dead, be respectful.
