i'll be getting my red/clears in preety soon.. i'm debating wether or not to shave my a$$.. i was thinking to shave the burger off and leave the titanium MAXIMA emblem on.. i mean, some shave jobs look good but some don't..95/96 look good shaved
....or shave it all and place a 5th gen maxima emblem on... but that may look ghetto..

 

i just took off the burger. and left the "maxima" lettering on.

however i may take it off later on.

get rid of that burger for sure, leave the maxima on. see if you like that, if not, take it all off and have a bare a$$.

 

shave the NISSAN emblem leave the M A X I M A on.....

 

I took everything off. nice and smooth

 

I just have the Maxima on there and Im thinking of shaving it off to complement the Red/clear tails alittle more...completly shaved with the red/clear tails would look sick

Shave the hamburger and the "Maxima"... and the keyhole, and the antenna, and the door handles, and the body molding.

 

Does anyone have the MAXIMA lettering they'd like to sell me.(off 97-99 only )

 

shave that A$$

 

i have everything off and have a cefiro tag at the top left, something different

 

sure. do what he says. shave the keyhole and antenna along with the emblems. then, you can just take out the inner trunk lid tails and look like an accord. and ull waste money in the process

i had the hamburger only look, the complete shaved look, then nothing but a jdm wing emblem, and now i have the wing with maxima emblem.
its like this short and simple- if you have it shaved, you might like it better with emblems later on. and vice versa.
i hope you find the look you want to end up with, goodluck

theres my opinion and history but is it just me or are these threads too frequent

..gobble gobble

 

i had a whole lot of photochops about a month ago on my car...w/red/clears, altezzas....i varied from removing nissan, removing nissan and maxima, removing nissan, maxima, and the keyhole, removing just maxima, removing just the keyhole, removing just nissan and the keyhole (looked the best), and removing everything (2nd best)

except i was cleaning up my webspace, and i deleted em all, and i recently reformatted, so they are gona forever ...however, i recently found my usb connector for my digi cam, so i will have them up again soon enuff...if you can wait a day or 2, ill give you all sorts of visual aids

 

most people take off the nissan logo for some reason, but i honestly think just shaving maxima off and leaving the logo looks the best, looks very sporty with just a little round logo on the top, ill take some pics sometime.

 

i agree with everyone with taking off the nissan emblem and leave the maxima on. i plan on painting my car so i would shave it all off when i get my 97+ trunk. i think the 95-96 trunk looks fugly especially when its completely shaved... but everyone has their own taste. body side moldings shaved would be nice too. just my opinion

 

talk about all kins of mixed emotions.. i guess it's all a matter of preference when it's all said and done..
thanks Jamsan if you can post a few pics to get some ideas..

 

i have to work from 12-630 today, so unless i go outside and take the pictures right now (VERY DOUBTFUL, cuz im a lazy ****, and its cold out), you'll have to wait for tomorrow.....maybe ill become unlazy, take em now, edit em later, and have em up by tonite

 

I messed around with photoshop myself and I agree, removing the burger and keyhole looks the best to me and is probably what I am going to do. I might also paint the MAXIMA logo black also but it could be a pain to put back on. I wouldn't shave my keyhole but I have heard painting it body color looks almost as good. I was going to start a 'Show me your A$$' thread to try to crate a gallery of different ways to do the back of a 4th Gen but I wanted to wait until I got my most recent pics uploaded.

 

erm ok im home now....and i did take pictures before i went to work....so in about 20-30 minutes, youll have a lot of pictures to work with

 

cool

 

ok ive been slacking off because i dont have Photoshop nor the digi cam drivers installed....heh...

*grabs the photoshop cd, digi cam drivers, digi cam, and usb adapter*
*gets to work*

 

shave burger, keep "maxima"

 

shave the MAXIMA and paint the keyhole

 

 

sorry for the crap pics

 

great job on the chop man!!
i think keep the maxima, shave the burger and the key hole is the best..i'll use a sharpie and black out the chrome key hole and see how it looks. later on in the spring i'll see if i have the body guy patch it up

.... hmmm.. what about touch up paint on the key hole??

 

i think any of the pictures in the first post (hamb shaved, everything shaved, just MAXIMA) are the best....

godd@mn my car looks sexy with everything shaved

 

just the maxima

have fun with that link 56kers

 

Take the Nissan off, then space put the letters and put M A X. Thats what i did, looks good, too.

 

I took out the hamburger and left the "MAXIMA" and added an "SE" emblem from a 2k2-2k3 right on top of it. i'm proud to say i'm the only one that has that. so far? hehe

 

thats the way u got the car buddy

 

:P

 

 

'95-'96 - Shave off the Nissan hamburger.
'97-'99 - Shave it all off.

Both look better without the keyhole, but that is expensive and dangerous (if your electronic latch stops working, which HAS happened before to somebody with a shaved keyhole).

Personally I think it looks a little to empty back there completely shaved.

Doesn't the SE-L come with slightly darker emblem? I think this might look good on my dark Max instead of trying to paint the stock one.

Is it worth trying to put an old emblem on the car or are you better off buying one with the tape on the back already? Any suggestions on putting tape on an old emblem?

 

Whats the diference between the 95-96 trunk and the 97-99 trunk

 

Shave everything out back

emblem adhesive-

 

97-99 SE With orange removed from tails (Mine)


95-96 GXE With stock tails from this Car Domain page

 

Is that some sort of liquid or is it just thin double stick tape? If it is double stick tape how do you cut it in the shape of the MAXIMA lettering?

 

its sticky glue stuff in a tube like caramel..smells good too but i wouldnt recommend sniffing it hahhaaa
