i know this is kind of stupid thread but i am really torn here i dont know whether i should debadge my car or not and need some help what do you guys think about debadging?

 

what i think?

debadge it

 

Debadge it...

But don't blame us if ya don't like it... ya should be making these decisions on your own anyways, since you're the one who's gonna hafta be looking at it...

 

IMHO it makes the trunk look too plain. I'd keep it.

 

i like ordering people around, so yes, debadge it!

but yeah, it really does look better that way, IMO. Thats the first thing i did.

OR, buy my carbon fiber trunk, that is TOTALLY debaged, no keyholes or hamburgers or nothing.

 

Looks fine to me...

 

i think i like it im really not sure uggg... this has to one of the toughest decisions ive had to make about my car so far... can i put the badges back on if i dont like it?

 

Hey skier, what color Max you got? I think I like it more on the darker colors.

 

i got a sterling mist 03

 

debage and replace the hamburger with a smaller better looking one

the good end of my car

 

 

i like how it looks

 

I vote debadge. I even debadged my keyhole hehe

 

givea it a real clean look, and u could always put them back if u really dont like it later on. so its a win-win situation. just use a heat gun/blow dryer and fishing line then some cleaning compound or car wax to get rid of the extra glue

 

whatever you want to do...the max is your car. Just compare still shots debadge vs. non-debage

 

For example:

Unshaved:



Shaved:

 

Debadge it...

 

debadge.. makes it look clean, and you can always put it back if you want.

 

looks much nicer debadged..i debadge my rear completly

 

Debadge......



Those ugly amber signal bulbs have long since been replaced with 'chromed' amber ones.

 

Debadged mine today and I love the way it looks. I'll take some pics tomorrow at the CT meet and post tomorrow night. Definitely do it!

 

ok ok you guys sold me on it im going to give it a shot this weekend... maybe ill even get up early and try and do it before the CT meet... anyway thanks for all the input it helped alot!!

 

Anybody got the black gloss "maxima" and nissan sign they took off?? ill take that off their hands if for a few bucks....

 

I'd vote debage:

 

dee badge 'er!!!

 

If you de-badge how would others know what kind of car you have? Then you won't be able to wave to the other Maxima owners.

Hey you wanna fight on that one!

 

Exactly how is this done?

 

i had a pic of how to do it, but geocities doesn't let us link pix anymore.

 

I voted debadge. Looks so much sexier to me. To do it I just used a razor blade and very carefully pried off the badges. I wouldn't recommend doing it this way though. I didn't mess up my paint but it would be very easy to do. To remove the excess adhesive I used a product called "oops" from Autozone. Worked 1,000x better than goo-gone.

 

Why not just use a fish line hold it tight in both hands and then just slowly pull under the letters with the fish line, buddy of mine did it came out fine, you might wanna buff were the letters where.

 

Hey blues, i've had those "chromed" amber bulbs sitting in my back seat for 6 months now. I can't get them to fit on my taillight though. The nubs are in a slightly different position. I've heard of some people sanding one nub down a bit. Any pointers?

 

That's exactly what I did...sand one of the nubs off. The bulb is still held firmly in place, I've had no problems.

There is a bulb with the nubs in the correct position, but I can't recall the number but I don't know if it's available in chrome.

 

yes do it

 

Cool, thanks! I've got myself a little project to do today. I hate the orange!!

 

simmer down now.... just having a goof....

 

d-e-b-a-d-g-e... i did, and love the look.

 

sometimes debadging looks good and sometimes it make the back end lose its personality. i think it depends on the color and the exhaust/body kit. just MHO.

 

i dunno im confused ont eh same question, i think im going to debadge mine too

 

This has motivated me to do mine also, I've been debating this for while.
