I just heated mine up, and peeled them off. Then took some goo gone and took the sticky stuff off. Then the car was buffed and waxed and polished.

^^u and your 'search'

anyway max_man, there are a few good methods for our cars. best results on a warm/hot day.
heatgun(be careful with these on the paint) or hairdryer
get the adhesive gooey enough to basically twist and pull the badge off OR
use fishing line, pull it behind to basically slice the badge right off the car.
I've also used a razor blade but this is super risky in that you'll probably scratch some paint soo...AT YOUR OWN RISK
Liberal amounts of goo gone, wd-40 and elbow grease will be required.
Once its virtually clean, give it a good polish (may even use a compound to get the remaining 'ghosting' off)
then WAX

have fun and enjoy your clean trunk!

Did mine about a week ago. Hair dryer and fishing line worked just fine. I didn't have any residue left, but if you do, goo gone is great as Custom said.

Yes me and my search. If only people learned how to.

I know your enjoying your clean trunk. OP, yours should look something like this:


-Oh and 1 quick thing, don't try to remove the Nissan emblem. There are 2 holes behind it.

If your getting the car painted then **** it why not do it? I would. Only reason I didn't is because of those damn holes.
