Remove Emblem from Center Cap?

Has anyone had any success removing the Nissan Emblem (hamburger) from their center cap? I have 02-03 Stock SE wheels, but I think the center cap is used on other models. I want to stick my own emblem on the center cap, but because the surface is not flat, due to the Nissan, I can't. If not, can anyone tell me where I can get center caps without the emblem that will fit?

get the centercaps from the infiniti G35 17s. You can pop the silver infiniti logo off. It leaves 2 little holes, but you can cover them up.

I have a set of nissan center caps from 02-03 nissan wheels, and the hamburger came off after i sort of removed the rivits that they are attached to. It will leave too small holes however in the cap.

When you say rivits are you refering to the 2 points in the back of the cap that appear to have glue around them. If so, what did you do to remove?

Yup those are what I am referring to. My dad actually did it to a set of caps on his Altima SE-R wheels that he put on his accord coupe. I believe he used a drill bit and drilled them out without actually damaging the nissan logos.
