I was just wondering why people shave thier MAXIMA letters and hamburger off the back of thier car. I know its supposed to give it a cleaner look but damn, I WANT people to know I drive a Maxima. Plus its something for them to read while they stare at the back of my car during a race.

 

i was thinking of shaving off just the nissan symbol and leave the MAXIMA on the car. i don't like shaving it all off...

 

C'mon, you cant get rid of the hamburger!

 

it makes the whole display off centered

 

I dont think so. Its the damn keyhole that makes everything off centered

 

Oh cool, i just saw your proflie. I got to San Jose State. Where do you go

 

wow! somebody who actually lives close to me. i go to De Anza

 

Wait a minute, were you driving North on 280, sorta around Mountain View, last Wednesday. I was sorta racing a green Maxima

 

could've been. i use 280 a lot. i've raced so many stock maximas i can't remember how many exactly...

 

I had my Nissan logo shaved off for 2 months and then go tired of the Maxima lettering so it had to go as well. I put it on my dash. IMO, it looks a lot cleaner w/out the emblems.

 

At least the letters didnt go to waste. Now your pasengers know that its a Maxima instead of other motorists

how much was it to shave the key hole.

 

i really see no point of having that keyhole there in the first place... we already have two ways of getting that trunk open...

 

I guess the one who mod his car so much, shaving the letters just make people on the street wondering what's that car they saw. kinda of cool just to make people think for a while after seeing the car. I mean, so many people who have some mod experience don't even know there is such a car called Maxima or don't even know you can mod a family sedan. all they know is Mustang, civic, integra ........ and I used to be one of them.

 

It's FREE!!! isn't that TIGHT?!?!?!

Guess what 5 E X I M A stands for?

 

what? btw i love when people have no clue what the car is and love to see their faces when i tell them its a maxima

 

THINK REALLLLYYYYYY HARD

 

i dont want to

 

cause if you don't have .org stickers, how else will I know ur a member??

Unmarked vehicles, to me = nice.

 

I removed the burger and think it looks alot better.
I plan on keeping the MAXIMA on there for awhile.

 

yea. that's what i'm thinking of doing. how do i get it off? floss?

 

yeah take some floss and a heatgun or hair dryer and heat it up take it off and wax the area where it used to be..

i took all the emblems off before i had any mods whatsoever.. i thought it was different from other maxes.. i have had like 5 people pull up next to me and ask "is that a maxima????" or "what kind of car is that???" its kinda cool..

pretty soon i am ditching that damned keyhole and antenna.. very clean look.. maybe get rid of those interior tails too.. we'll see, the keyhole and antenna cost about 450 to remove together..

 

cool. thanks for the instructions.

 

Yeah just use a hair dryer to heat it up and then use some floss
or fishing line to remove it.
To get the adhesive off try using Goof-off.
You can get it at any hardware store.

 

Um shaving the keyhole is definitely not free. Shaving the letters is, but unless you know how to weld the keyhole shut, then bondo, then paint, it's not free. I got mine done when my whole car was being repainted, but normally it would be like $200+

How did you get rid of the key whole? Is it entirely gone or just hidden? Is it possible to use the key on it still?

SuDZ

 

When you "shave" the keyhole it is gone. BYE BYE.. cant ever use it again.. as shadow said, it is welded shut and then they put bondo over it and paint it, so you will never have that keyhole again..

check my attachment to see no keyhole or letters

 

I have a marron maxima. Anyone have pics how my color looks with shaved letters. I though of shaving her A S S but dont know if it will look good on my color. Thanks.

 

if you have a pic of your car's rear i can shave it all for you or if you can get one i can do it real easy.. let me know

 

The keyhole is gone. They removed the locking mechanism, welded the hole shut, used bondo to even it out and then painted it. There is no keyhole at all there anymore, it's not just hidden.

 

go here to see mine
