I took the "Maxima" off mine but left the "SE"...for now.

Thats how mine is too, Shaved emblems look good, but it look so much better if you paint the trunk keyhole bodycolor also

I left my license plate in pics. and since my mods are pictured online someone knew exactly what was in my car found my info and now i have this huge stain in my driveway. No matter what I do I cant seem to get it out completely.

I'm actually glad kiyap18 pumped life into this tread, because it brought this comment to my attention:

But your car definitely looks clean and I see it as an improvement with sunlit
I kept going back and forth on this whole debadging thing, but that comment about it being right for some colors over other colors really rings true. In my case, chrome lettering looks just fine on sheer silver, particularly with the 5.5 gen tail-lights. I've photoshopped the badges off my car's back end a number of times, always very undecided. Couldn't quite figure it out until reading this.

Debadging is out of my head now. Nice! On to other things...

i was thinking of debadging my car and wondering if i take the nissan emblem off too and fill it with like bondo or something then just paint over it and the keyhole if it would be too noticeable?
