im thinking about shaving my rear emblems. i know how with the fishing line, but anyone know any other ways? also, if i dont like it for long, how do i "unshave" them? what kind of adhesive do i use? any comments or likes and dislikes about this are cool.

use 3M side molding tape. Its the same stuff thats originally on there. It will dake some time cutting the tape in lil pieces and sticking it behind the emblems though.

I like my girlfriend shaved, not my max.

If this is the same stuff that's originally on there, then I assume it's just as easy to remove later on, right?

just shave the Nissan emblem. but if you are going to shave the trunk keyhole then shave everything. that **** is tight!

Ruckus

i agree. i got a deep evergreen 98 gxe, shaved it all, but it looks incomplete without doing something about the keyhole. i'm not planning on shaving it, is there any other way to hide it?

DTR Maxima

i have a black maxima and i think it looks amazing with the shaved emblems, and so much cleaner. but i dont have a spoiler on yet, so i left the nissan emblem there for now, but once the spoiler comes its off. as far as putting them back on, its fairly easy, just get some foam double sided adhesive and cut in out to fit (thats the hard part though) and stick it back on. and i just pulled it off with a screw driver,but be careful and a heat gun works great! just make sure to use like a clay bar or polisher afterwards to get ride of the marks, good luck

I know its kinda cheezy but I covered mine up with touch-up paint. Doesnt stand out nearly as much.

Ruckus

oh cheezy doesn't matter too much, i jsut don't want to shave it completely. besides i read a post on here about someone using car-colored vinyl for their chrome door handles...

I like the look of the backside without the burger on it (just the MAXIMA) if you are going for the sporty but luxurious look. It looks good on the 4th gens because our taillights are long. However, if you want the sportier look and you have a body kit or something I would take all the emblems off. I plan to take the MAXIMA emblem off if I get the Stillen Kit. It just seems to "fit" better in my opinion.

Taking the burger off was easy. Tools needed = "Goo Off" (for the residue left behind by the double stick tape), my finger nails, and the Miami heat. I just let my car sit in the sun for a while and when I went to take the emblem off it was easy. The sun had done the same job a heat gun would have. It was easy to pull off and then I used the "Goo Off". A nice wash and wax and it was all clean.

By the way, anyone think I am crazy for wanting to put the Stillen Kit on my 97' with 85K. Some people have been telling me to just save my money since this car may not last me much longer.

You must be really beating the crap out of it if you think it's not gonna last much longer then 85k. I think the car has another good 100k left if treated right, and you should go ahead and get the kit, and anythining else you want for it.

I have my *** shaved all the way.

At 1st, I just shaved the Nissan hamburger but then I shaved the Maxima sign over a week ago. Looks good to me but i need to color in that keyhole because it stands out too much being that my car is Superblack

but i think it looks good with the emblems too..

a1281b

purmax

A little landing strip isn't bad either...

I used dental floss, which worked. Do it on a nice hot day, after letting your trunk bake in the sun for a few hours. It was VERY easy to do at that point. But take your time, as you can easily scratch your paint while lifting up one edge of the emblems (as the other dips down and gouges your paint).

At first I didn't like the completely shaved look, but now that I'm used to it I love it. Next I'm going to paint my trunk lock.

iregula

i like emblems on

95emeraldgxe

i only like it shaved if its one of the younger ones, the older ones (95/96) look a lil funnie with a shaved @$$

munji

I've had my trunk shaved fro a wile and it looks good, painted my keyhole black, but the paint where my nissan emblem was is a little bumpy.....might put it back on but I think it looks alright either way

DaThrillr

I am shaving my emblems off today. Why do I need to clay bar the area? I will also and get the trunk buffed , so is there a point to clay bar the area?

maximachad

Nice pic DaThrillr, that's what I did to mine...like that look best.

I just used some Goo Gone however I can still see the outline of the MAXIMA and the NISAAN sign. Will buffing take it off?
