Ya'll will have to excuse me...

I just found this forum and am so damned excited that all of my questions are finally being answered.

First off, taking off the INFINITI letters on the trunk.

I've heard about doing it with a hairdryer and dental floss. Any other tips before I go give it a try?

Secondly, anyone have any problems with their front seats feeling loose or wobbly? I'm not too big of a guy (about 190), but my seats don't seem as tight as they were when I drove it off the lot.

Finally, has anyone had any serious problems with their dealerships? I paid cash for my G at Infiniti of Charlotte and they treat me like I bought a Kia or something. They've damaged it 3 times, tried to charge me $1000 to install my satellite radio (I had a loaner I-35 for 2 weeks), failed to align it correctly, and told me that my tires were wearing inconsistently because they were "racing tires."

Needless to say the Nissan dealership down the street was more happy to have my business, and at nearly half the price.

I was going to use a loooong extension cord. Or just drive up next to an outdoor outlet somewhere.

Re: Ya'll will have to excuse me...

Good idea. Looong extension cord is your best bet.

Expect to see a slight difference in coloration after you take off the letter-- esp. with a dark color like TB/Black. After a few weeks/months of exposure to sunlight, the difference will fade.

Good luck,

you don't need a hair drier, I did mine with only dental floss. If you park it out in the sun for a while to warm it up and soften the adhesive that helps a little.

Use the hair dryer man.. I guess you could do it without it, but youre gonna need alot more force to get them puppies off.

Re: Ya'll will have to excuse me...

Re: Ya'll will have to excuse me...

where are u guys located? when i had my I30 i paid cash and they treated me soo nice. After taking my business to glendale, even though i didnt buy from them, they treated me like a king. I was 16 at the time and they gave me loaners and service was second to none~.

Charlotte NC. I forgot to mention that they gave me $200 for a 7 year old Nissan 200sx as a trade in. I bought a cover for the G....with my trade in. Awesome huh?
