well...i debadged today... (w/ pix!)

so today i was bored, so i decided to debadge all my emblems on the trunk. i want to do a good job so i spent a good 45 minutes with some music and accomplished. i used hair dryer, wd40, turtle wax, dental floss, spunge, car wash stuff...and repeat washing over and over and over again. now my rear end looks cleaner, or i should say... cleaner rice


regular shot...


a close up shot. those emblems were on my car for 10 years. it did take me a lot of time to make it look nice and clean without scraping my paint off my trunk.

[need help with future plan]
my front-end still has a dent. i am in the process saving up to get the exterior bodywork done. i know most people suggest 97-99 front end convertion. but i really wanna stay with 95-96 with GXE bumper, with grill-tech race grill both top and bottom (like gtr_rider's) with shaved front badge.

if i go for 97-99 front-end convertion, i will pick up a stillen lip and it'll just look like everyone else's maxima. but i am still in the debate. help me decide...

we'll it seems like you already decided, i however, like the 97 front end more becuase it not as round. i do like the 95-96 rear bumper more though, but i like the 97- tailights/trunk. but i cant have what i want all the time...

Looks good.

I just did the 97-99 front end conversion (Pics tomorrow) and it looks bad a$$, much better than the 95-96 bumper. Can't wait until I find a rear bumper, trunk lid and whatnot so that I can do the rear

Lookin good man! I did the same to my trunk a while ago, it cleans up the back IMO. I personally like the altezzas, not to be ricey or anything but I like the way they look. Here's how my booty looks kinda goes with the A.E. headlights up front:

Nice. I wish I could have made mine look that nice. I debadged the Nissan symbol and you can still slightly see where it used to be. The paint where the emblem used to be is a little darker than the rest of it. What did you use to take off the glue?

Thats what Doggy needs... If he wanted your opinion on his altezza's he would have asked. And you're off topic anyway. AND if you wanted to comment, ONE "gay" comment would have been enough... you are just a pest, and im sure many people are tired of your responses.

hey doggy, aren't you the kid who wasn't able to mod his car because mommy and daddy wouldn't let you? yeah, thought so.

I don't know what your deal is, but I suggest keeping your mouth shut unless you have something productive to say.

you came on this thread and started talking trash about someone else's tail lights straight to his face, when the entire thread is about debadging... not tail lights. just shut up already.

don't bother replying with the typical garbage you spew around here, either. "ur gay", "u like gay tail lights", "lolz noob!!1!" save it. nobody cares.

his looks blue to me. mine looks darker than his. most of my picture looks darker than neptune blue. even in real life it doesn't look close to neptune blue. during the day time it doesn't look superblack, but definetly black enough to be black. at night it just look plain black.

Well, those altezzas arent bad, they just make your car look ricey.... I think you should get the euro tail lights, they would look good. But i like your car though!

id say it to anyones face. i speak whats on my mind and i aint afraid of anyone.

69amixam to answer your question. do you replace gay stock tail lights and install gayer altezza? no. you either do it right or you dont do it at all. stock tails are much better than bs altezza's.

mchne :

yea im not allowed to mod. but hey look, i got dc's and red&clears installed. y pipe on order and injen intake coming in. so whats ur point??

besides, i dont understand why you all get mad when you hear the truth?

its the TRUTH, altezza's are GAY. there are facts and there are BS comments. altezza's being GAY is a fact.

and i dont care what this thread was all about, once i see bs altezza's on a car, i look at it as a disgrace.

since when did your opinion become fact? many like them, many hate them, that's a fact.

you don't have to act like a d!ck all the time, that's how you are gonna get banned.


nice clearn shave happyricefob! when i changed mine over from gold, i scratched under the maxima a little bit so don't want to leave it shaved because of the scratches.
