How to UN-shave trunk??

Guys I wanna put my maxima letters back on my trunk. Are there any special ways it should be done? Particular glue to use? Best techniques? Thanks in advance -

The BEST and EASIEST way is to spend a little money (under $20) and get the letters from the dealer. They have the adhesive on the back (and are spaced for the 95-96 ers on paper for easy application.) 97 and up the letters are all connected.

I called and got the price because I'm thinking about replacing mine because they are starting to show some age. It was some months ago but I think I remember him saying something like $12.xx, or close to that.

$12.00 !##!$!r$@#$ I just called the dealer here and they want $76 Can which translates to approx $50 US!

when u get the 97-99 maxima emblem, line ur trunk with masking tape, make sure that is straight and level, and spaced properly, then find another max and make some measurements, and place it the same way on yours. put 4 strips all around and make sure its straight, and paste. Even body shops do it like that,
good luck
