I finally de-riced my car, tell me what you think

I spent about 4 hours today de-ricing and washing my car. I removed stickers, vent visors, and the sunroof wind deflector. Check out the pics and tell me what you think.

GOO-GONE WORKS MIRACLES!

I thought the paint was destroyed when I took it off at first but a good wash with Meguiars got rid of 95% of the buildup. I think some Meguiars stage 6 cleaner wax should take care of the rest.

I would love to do something with my headlights but I am afraid to put them in the oven...LOL... don't think Nissan would cover that under warranty if I screwed them up.

Beautiful ride! +1 you should black out the headlights, throw some DDE's in, and clear the turn sigs. It's really not that hard, and if you follow studman or housecor's how to's you'll be fine.

Well, since he's going for more of a show look, I think the MT lip would look better. Although I like the Stillen more.

If you'd wanted to completely de-rice it, you'd take that touring lip off. The Stillen classic is the right match for our cars.

And opening the headlights really isn't that bad; just don't leave the oven and follow housecor's instructions, as others said. And it looks so much cleaner with the cleared signal lens.
