I recently took my 2k Max to a cool import shop in the Pocono mtns where I live they are removing all but my cool gunmetal emblems as well as my rear lock cylinder.
It was easy to remove the rear "Nissan"badge but the lock was harder.Once I had removed the cylinder we welded a patch over the hole for the lock and filled the holes left by the badge.We then used a small amount of filler to level it out.I let it set up for a few days(it's cold) and finished it and had them paint it.If you have the se spoiler you can get away with just painting the back portion of the trunk and blending the edges.pict to follow soon!

Yes, tell me what emblems you removed and how you removed them. Do you have any idea on how to cover up the Nissan emblem on the wheels? Thanks

You can try sticking on those bright red reflector circles over the Nissan emblem on the wheels. Just make sure you put them on the exact center, or they will look really funny ! :

Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one!

You did not answer my original question: "What emblems did you remove, and how did you remove them?". Did that car shop in the Poconos do a good job?

Sorry, but I didn't remove any of my emblems. BUT, I hear you can heat them up with a hairdryer and use like fishing line to gently pull them off. You can use WD40 on the goop that is left behind, or you can try a powerwasher on the area. Good luck!
