I realize it's personal taste but having no emblems at all on the rear seems to seem too bare.. different strokes etc.
I thought about doing this, and photoshopped it to see - sort liked it, but also thought the Mt. Fuji logo is too high by itself, and looks a bit odd. So, ended up just taking off the G35S, like it a lot. I used a Costco card (it was handy ), then goo-gone, soap and water, Scratch-X, and Zaino, in that order. Took about 20 minutes.

Scratch-X consistently works for me, and should work here assuming you didn't use a screwdriver...

has anyone been able to find the SKYLINE and 350GT badging for the 07 sedan yet? i've looked and come up empty handed

and i don't want coupe badging, or badging off an older sedan. if anyone finds this, i'd really appreciate it.

Don't suppose the badge can be used again, once it has been detached..?

Definitely fighting to resist the urge to go and do it
Doubt it - but you could buy one from the dealer and put the new one in a diff place.

sure, go to autozone and buy a roll of double stick auto tape and with a sharp exacto, trim the tape removing the unneeded material. Stick the tape to a cleaned fiji logo first, that should make it easier. I bet it would take about 5 minutes and save you $40. If you don't like it, take it off and do it again.

i possibly did the worst job ever haha i used goo off and it was working wonders, i got so into taking off the badges i hadn't noticed the goo off was dripped into the trunk lining seperating it from the bumper. when i looked at it the paint was all scrunched up looking so i wiped it off and the PAINT came off grrr. does anyone know if touch up paint would work? and i need to get rid of some minor scratches how would i do thatt and does taking off badges depreciate the cars value or can we just get it on anytime. thanks.

If you just took off the paint while debadging, STOP! Take it to a professional. Don't try to remove scratches yourself if you did damage taking off emblems. Removing paint will devalue your car more than removing badges.

PS: I've used GooF off before. I used it to remove paint from my driveway!! It's paint remover!!!
