Rear Nissan trunk emblem?

Quick question. How is the rear Nissan emblem attached to the trunk on the 95-96 Max's? Just double sided tape or are there two little holes as well?

It is just attached with double sided tape. Just get fishing line and a heat gun and heat it up and then take the fishing line and saw it back and forth to cut through it. Then once it removed. The sticky residue will be left over. Take the heat gun and heat the sticky stuff up and then peel it off with ur finger. Then take some lacquer thinner and clean it up. It looks alot cleaner. This is my 97 without them but we also took them off my friends 96 and it looks much cleaner.

Looks good, but I almost like the look of the emblem better. I like the 97-99 emblem better then the 95-96. Could have at least kept the rear Nissan emblem.

Just sand it down with a higher grit sandpaper and spray away. Put a few coats of paint on, then follow it up with clear coat. Reapply emblems with 3M double sided tape and you should be good to go.

Even though i dont like the large emblem, i think you should have centered it between the tail lights, its just too high and looks off.. i think if it was centered it would look proportional to the rest of the trunk...

BTW those rims must be really really heavy huh

Yeah the rims are real heavy but I still get 24 MPG. LOL. I want to get ride of them and get some light weight deep dish wheels. Thanks for your input on the emblem, I've been thinking of relocating it. LOL I also have the large emblem for the front, check it out:

Here's a large dark one (might actually look nice on a darker car, if it weren't so freakin big) - http://www.courtesyparts.com/betasit...244_5882_5884&

I love the pricing there, though...

If I could I would like to know about where to purchase the trunk lip also. My emblems were stolen but they left the residue for me to clean.

I know I'm chimin' in to this thread kinda late but, whatever.

When the car belonged to my brother, he had taken the emblem off the rear, intending to put it on the steering wheel....(don't know how he took it off). But it wouldn't stay on the wheel, so he threw it in the center console for a year. When it became my pride and joy, I put it back where it belonged. I just used super glue
