Yeah Ruby Red I believe. I hate the color a lot and wish it was black, but the car is so well kept because of my family member that I like everything else.

lol, you think you do until you have it.
My car has a new paint job and i still hate t.
You see every single hard water mark, bird ****,
dirt mark anywhere on the car..I literally
have to wash her 2-3 times a week just to look decent.
I will never own a black car again.

Brake cleaner. It will soften it enough for you to scrape off with your nails. Once you get it off, there will be an outline from where the emblem used to be. It will buff out with polish.

Its adhesive tape. Go get 3m adhesive remover. Should have it in the car paint/body section of your wal-mart

You can also go to your local paint store and get a rubber eraser wheel. You use it in a drill. It will remove that stuff really quickly. I lost mine so i just rubbed all the tape off with my finger. Yes i got a few blisters but Im not a wimp so I just dealt with it lol.

Once it was all off I used some polish and a buffer. The outline is still there if your at just the right angle in just the right light. Its barely noticeable and looks way better imo.

I was playing with the idea of putting the Cefiro Nissan badge in place of the Nissan logo. Something like a smaller version of whats on the Chrysler 300

Brake cleaner doesn't ruin paint, unless your paint is already ruined and in bad shape to begin with. All it does is leave a slight haze which will buff out anyways since you have to clean the ghost ring left behind after removing the emblem.

I've removed many, many emblems using brake cleaner to remove left over adhesive on dozens of cars. Never had a problem.
