Again your car looks great! The black roof is an awesome touch. My GF thought I was nuts for taking off all the badges until I showed her that pic.

take a blow dryer to the badges for a lil to heat up the adhesive to make it easier to pull off or leave ur car in the sun and do it.....u can get some kind of sticker/label remover (i used goo-off) and easily pry them right off without damaging paint....no blades etc is required....the only hard part i had was cleanin up the adhesive residue left on the car.....

hairdryer, goo gone, and some dental floss is all you need. Then put on a good coat of wax when you are done. If you car is more than a year or so old you'll likely have some shadow marks left over

You paid $500 for what?? just to fill in the holes and repaint it??

Damn I had my dealer remove my front licence plate cause it looks so much cleaner that way. and the drill holes are very visible, I was debating whether to wait till I get a new bumper or have these holes fixed now, for $500 I will wait.

That looks very good. I tried doing this a long time ago before I knew their were holes, luckily the original badge stuck again after I took it off.

Help me on this debadging thing. Why do you want to do it? I've never understood. You all think it looks that much better without anything on the trunk?

Not a flame. I'm just curious.

Yeah that's all. Some people like the clean look and are willing to pay for it. Those lucky coupe guys can just take off all theirs with no re-painting.

Did this on my Nissan Maxima, Nissan Altima and well I kinda got stuck on the G since Mt Fuji has holes. Just like the cleaner look thats easier to wax

It's just a preference, I just took off the infiniti letterings and added the wald and supercharged emblems. I like the Mt. Fuji actually.
