What yall think?

 

looks good, real clean. However, i'm favorable on it depending on car color. I'm assuming your letters were either black or gray and they obviously dont match well with your car versus a black or gray car. I rather keep them on my color car. But your car definitely looks clean and I see it as an improvement with sunlit

 

Yep they were black

 

Nice towel.

I always wonder why people cover up their plates....considering when you're driving around, everyone can see them. It's not like your SSN or bank account password are on there, lol.

Anyhow, looks good.

 

lol. good point, i think its a mental thing..lol

 

I like the new plate you added to your car... love the towel

 

looks nice.

has anyone thought of doing a custom towel option, so when you go thru ez-pass the towel drops down to cover up the license plate if you dont wanna pay??

 

Open records act and with your car on the internet with the plate visible means it is easier to start digging for info.

Someone posted a riced out Accord on another board and within 15 minutes, the owner's personal information was posted.

 

like I said though, your license plates are always visible, so if someone wants to use them to get your personal information....covering them in photos won't change the outcome....If someone posts anyone's personal information on here, they will be permabanned

 

scott, btw I think I accidentally deleted a sentence from your response. I hit the "edit" button rather than the "quote" button by mistake. Apologies.

 

How-to on the license plate towel mod?

 

Nice

 

Nice n clean...

 

what did u do with them want to give them to me?

 

True, but it is easier to do when everything is right there on your computer screen. I always erase my customer's plates before I post their cars on my website or a detailing site I go to.

Oh yeah, what I had posted in my thread was : Love the debadging, especially as a detailer.

 

to the OP : looks clean, did you use an hair dryer and what product used for removing the glue ? I'm thinking about removing the dealership's sticker

about the towel mod : I was thinking just like Irish about covering plates, but last summer, I got my boat stolen and I guess the internet may have made the job easier. At least now they wont have my address within 10 mins

 

hair dryer + floss + goo gone works great

 

Looks clean...

 

Real nice and clean man.

 

Just Like Armon said, I used a hair dryer, floss, and Goo Gone. Just heat them up, work the floss all the way through, and they are off. I had alot of the backing tape left on my car after I took the badges off, but I just rolled it off with my fingers. After that you will have the dirty outline of the badges, just get a towel and wash it off. from my experience I really did not need the Goo Gone, but im sure its handy to have

 

Looks clean, my car is also debagded. Is there a place you can look at custom chrome lettering?

 

clean debadge...looks like everyone else who has done it

as stated, hiding your license plate is pointless

 

Oh and watch it with the rear cheeseburger, If you decide to pull that off you will find out there are two centering holes in the trunk. At least I did over the weekend...

 

I made the mistake of never covering my 93 turbo accord license plate up online and paid the price.
I listed it for sale on cb7tuner.com and never blacked out my plate.
I gave my address in the hope that someone would come by and take a look and buy it right there for cheap, well someone came by and looked at it alright.
In my own driveway at around 3am, someone went through the trouble of stealing the damn turbo, intercooler piping, etc from my car. My question is, why spend upwards of 30 mintues stealing pieces of a turbo if it would take less than 3 to break in and steal my whole car? Either way, i dont know if the event had anything to do with my posting of the car a few hours prior to the theft, but i have a strong feeling it had a part to play. You can never be tooooo safe ya know. Damn guy took a crowbar to my hood to pry it up when he could have opened the driverside door and popped the hood ( i never USED to lock my car) - im not saying you have to be overly protective, but be smart...
Back on topic - the debadge looks real good, i just recently did my sunlit sand also (left the hamburger for a hungry day)

Sometimes i dont understand the thought processes of some morons.
but hey, to each his own

 

he already had your address, what's the difference if he had your plate number?

to the OP: much better debadged

 

you posted your address online.....what did you expect

they didnt need the plate number to steal stuff off the car

 

true, except for the fact that at the time 3 members of my family had black cb7 accords (90-93)...how did they know which one - i know what your saying, i have a feeling without the huge intercooler and lip kit they wouldnt have had any idea which one it was - it was my fault, but i understand where you are coming from

 

some forums will remove the pic of your car if your license plate is visible. Its so easy to look up plate numbers and find out where the car is located...its definitely not pointless imo

Sure when you drive everyone can see it but forums dont want to be responsible if a car gets stolen right after pics were posted with the license plate being visible...Im talking about local car forums also

 

I didn't have much luck with the floss method myself, the way I got mine off was just the hair dryer and slowly pulling up one side of the badge and then continuing to pull the rest up slowly while heating a few times. Rolling the leftover tape off was a pain, I had nice callouses on my thumbs after that but very worth it IMO.

 

Not a fan of debaging at all. Why would you remove the fact that its a maxima.

 

my contribution:



just did it a few days ago as well

 

the fact is that it is certainly easier for some sketchy characters to find more info on you if you leave your plate ## out in the open.
Gives us people some peace of mind that know what kinda useless people are out there.. as ScottWax said along with others.
Of course people see it when ur driving around.. but I do believe it would be easier to remember or copy when its posted right in front of you on a computer screen!! Right???

If you don't wanna cover your plate up .. then don't! But I wouldn't criticize others that do b/c it is certainly a good/easy idea!!!

 

my contribution

badging:
SE removed
MAXIMA replaced with A33
nissan emblem replaced with smaller one from older pathfinder

other:
keyhole painted
00-01 SE tail swap

 

If you need a badge to know it's a Maxima then you've got other issues. Point is the trunk looks 100% cleaner without the badging IMO.

Sooner, is that A33 badge something you purchased or just put together from other badges, it looks neat.

Here is mine:

 

i custom ordered it....took weeks to find the same size and font as the stock badges.

 

I think the towel is a really nice touch. It adds a sensible slice of secrecy.

 

Damn that looks good sooner. makes me want a black max even more.
OP, car looks clean

 

where do you order custom badges

 

+1 on badgeless sunlit sand!

 

I already know it is a Maxima, I don't need it on the car for me to know. Plus, too much extra work keeping the paint between the letters clean.

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