Shaved.
Good 
. Unmarked max. By the way my GT symbol is whats left of the cheap version of the GT R symbol. I like the way it makes people wonder about my car. 
What is that? Its my only emblem and it is soon to go. Hopefully when I get the Z3's!!

Shave it all!
I say go for it - one of the first things I did. This is all just my opinion, but here you go:
The top 10 reasons to shave your Maxima and Nissan trunk logos:
11. It will make your car 2 ounces lighter wich will help your 1/4 mile time by .0000001s. I'm just kidding, o.k., seriously, on to the top 10:
10. Because we CAN!! Be grateful we can even do it. Some cars like the Accord, have holes behind the emblyms.
9. Advertising sucks!
8. The M-A-X-I-M-A emblym is just way too large.
7. The Nissan hamburger isn't the best looking logo to begin with. A truly good logo doesn't need to say the manufacturer inside it like Nissan and Ford. Ex. Look at Lexus, Infiniti, Toyota, Acura, Mercedes, etc.
6. Anybody who knows cars, will still know it's a Maxima. If anybody needs to read Maxima to know you have a Maxima, they aren't worth letting know you had a Maxima in the first place. (Huh? what did I just say?)
5. It adds some mystery to your car. It makes people think for a second.
4. It is just way too much fun when you get a parking ticket at school and the Make/model reads 'Unknown'!
3. Chrome sucks! It is tacky and outdated. (Although yours are not chrome).
2. Be unique! Why look like every other non-customized Maxima out there? And even most customized Maximas for that matter!
1. And the number one reason... drum roll please... go for the CLEAN look!!
Now just make sure to paint the keyhole body color (or shave it - but that's expensive). Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Yes, I say shave it all.
But to each his own.
I painted the lock with the little bottle of body paint I got from the dealer.
Had to - once I shaved it became much to "important".
I also tinted the tail lights.
Still waiting for the gloss coat.
Here's a pic for reference.
Yes you can put it back on.
You need thin double-sided foam tape
- like what it was put on with.
