I noticed that when I took the emblem off the front of my car there were two pins that stick into the grill. Is that the same case for the rear? Will I have a bunch of little holes in my trunk when I pull those emblems off? I want to shave the rear, but was not sure about those holes. thanks T

No holes in the trunk. The rear emblems are attached with double sided tape.

what do you use to get the emblems off?
and once you have them off do you just wipe it clean and your done?

Dental floss, yes, i know, i doubted it first too, but try it. Use it like you were flossing your teeth and then get some adhesive remover and wax clean...

Whoa...
New way huh?
I juss put a card in there and ripped it off.
and I carefully shaved the big parts of tape with the knife, and then used the nailpolish remover to ruboff the left overs.. I heard the nail polish damages your car though..

Take a blow dryer and use that before you start flossing it. Heating it up like that makes it much easier to come off.

yep , then just rub off the left overs with your fingers, polish and wax that baby till its perfect....

To get them back on , you just use the double sided tape, and then make sure you measure it all out good... but if you have a 97-99 or if you get the 97-99 letters, i think they are all connected to each other, which should make it easier to line up.

p.s. the NISSAN emblem is really hard to get off , make sure you heat that sucker up for a while, then use the fishing line or floss and "saw" through it. It takes some time, but it looks nicest when done right.

3M

I used a Wagner heat gun. The emblems just fell off with a slight tug.
To reattach you can either use 3M double sided tabe or 3M Emblem glue. Emblem glue works wonders.
