Thanks to Cwally, and Maximadave for suggesting it. I let my car sit in the roasting So Cal sun for about 1 hour, after hooking up with Dave, and I went to work with the dental floss. Took about 30 minutes. No need for GOOO GONE either. It came off easily. I should have done this a long time ago. I waxed the rear after I was done, and it look NICE ! .. I will post Pictures tomorrow !

 

did you take off everything, or just the "MAXIMA" and "SE" emblems?

 

Just the Maxima and SE symbols. The other one has 2 screws holding it in. Cwally shaved his entire A$$ ! It was really hairy ! .. he had the holes filled in.... That will be a nice future mod....

 

30 minutes?? Where you taking Beer breaks or what. It only took me no more than 10 minute to shave my @ss. I used a hair dryer and it came off quick. Then a lil gasoline to remove the left over adhesive and it was all done.

 

I had a few while I was doing it. But I used dental floss. It kept snapping so I had to pull another piece. Besides, my neighbors are enfatuated with my Max. Everytime I do anything to it, they come out and ask, " What Ya doin now !?"....

 

If you ever do it again for someone....Use fishing wire. Thats what I used and it was off easily.

I know what you mean about the neighbors. Last month when I was installing my FSTB at 10 pm, a couple of people stopped by and asked me the same stuff.

 

I dont brush them off because they are my free alarm for my car, but sometimes, I feel like ... For sure when Im waxing it !

 

 

By the way, after sitting in Cwally's car watching nude girls on the DVD, and listening to the BUMPING A$$ system...his system ROCKS !!!!!

 

SHHHHH... just kidding... Thanks for the props. I must say, that your car looks awesome also and will look even more with the wheels you got.

 

awesome...gotta see what a white max looks like w/ a shaved a$$

p.s.-- how do you get other smilies??? do u make those or something b/c everytime i post they dont have to smilies as an option

 

Gasoline is the worst to use on paint. It eats away the clear coat. Shouldve used like a goo gone or something.

Dixit

 

I took off my SE a few weeks ago and if you look closely, there are tiny scratches where I scrubbed off the adhesive; can this be fixed or should I put the SE back on?

 

Go to www.mysmilies.com or www.plauder-smilies.com

 

What about some kind of plug for the screw holes after removing the Nissan emblem... if painted to match, how would that look? Just might have to experiment.

 

Can't wait to see your A$$ finally smooth

 

Here are the Pics of my nicely shaved KEESTER !

"badges?! We don't need no stinkin' badges!!"-Mexican Dude from "Blazing Saddles". Nice job Kloogy!

 

I used Fishing line. Worked fine. I shaved mine in the winter time, it is growing back nicely now..

 

..did you use after shave !

 

I'm an Aqua-Velva man!!!

 

question guys, dont flame, but what's the point in taking them off? from my own observations, ive only seen civics and saturns and neons debadged. some of you in this thread are anti-rice zealots, i am curious why you would do this "mod?"

in my humble opinion... it is RICE!

 

I don't like stickers and badges on my car. I know its a maxima, everyone else knows it is a maxima. I dont need a shiny plastic sticker on the back of my car anouncing it.

NOW, if I went and put a Japanese symbol on the back of my car that was supposed to say "maxima" on my car then I would call that Rice. What cracks me up is these doods have no clue what those stickers say. It prolly says "*******s" or something.

I did not consider debadging a "mod" thats why I never listed it or talked about it, I only posted here because of the humorous chat.

But now that you say that I am going to run back to the dealer and get my sticky plastic parts put back on my car.

 

keep rolling them eyes. why does everyone on the internet have PMS?

 

I think debadging the car gives a more custom look. To me its like shaving the door handles on some cars. Different, but subtle.

 

Just giving you some tihS man....

 

I noted when I was in Belgium that most BMWs did not have any badges or emblems on them except the company logo. They looked nice and clean. So not just ricers do it.

thanks prinz

 

define: "custom look"

im simply curious.

 

By custom look, I mean hmmm... Basically made to my exact taste. Different. Almost made to order.... I guess to my exact specifications. But this is one of those topics we could go around and around. A huge wing, stickers, and neons are custom by definition, but at the same time, for many people falls into the def. of rice. But it still is custom. I personally like different but subtle.

 

The car has style, not even close to looking like a ricer. I dont see big stickers all over the car. Looks clean to me.

 

Everything you mentioned IS RICE ! I guess since we live in a part of the country , where you bump into a classy ride, very oftenly. we know what it is. Many Audi's and BMW's and Benzes, are debadged. The dealers even offer to do it, before you receive your Mercedes at a local SD dealer. I guess all those S500's are Riced aout, and GHETTO with they're 19's.... If you ever saw and sat in Cwally's car, that last thing that would cross your mind would be RICE ! .. ask any So Cal Org member who has met him.

 

I agree with you %100 about my car not being rice They offered to do it on our S class when we bought it.

Like gunmax said, cars like that have style. But you know, you can't please everyone. If that were that case we would all have stock cars. I think I am going to buy a huge sticker that goes across my car saying RICE.

 

Thanks, I couldn't think of his name.
