Torn over this for some reason, not the maxima badge, that's going for sure but the Nissan badge. Anyone remove it then not like it?

Only visible name on my car is in the center caps.

Most people don't know cars well like we do. So most don't know what my car is. Lol

Torn on this myself; plasti-dipped letters and emblem on trunk last weekend when it was in the 50's. So far, so good, and if I don't like it after a while I can then de-badge.

My friend has an 08 TL Type S and even though he is stock he use to always give me **** on my car. I'm no longer stock so it would be a bit one sided but I still want to race (our max stock for stock is 100 pounds lighter with more HP & TQ) just so that he can watch my tail lights (On the track of course!!). His car stock for stock does have a deeper and better Rev than my Max but even the GTR revs like **** compared to other cars in it's class so idc about that.

Yeah, but they'll be saying, "Wow! That sure is one fast Altima!"

Not so difficult, take it off, if you don't like the look put it back on with 3M tape. If you want to change the color, while it is off would be a great time.

Thats a good point. Painting the nissan badge and the chrome trunk trim to match my diffuser would look decent.

Is the trunk emblem held on with only tape?

I took all mine off. I like it better that way.

Plus it makes people wonder what the car is.

I thought about taking mine off but I think the rear will look too naked even with the spoiler. I just PD'd them last week.
I'll take pics as soon as I leave work

I only de-badged my Honda... Friends don't let friends drive Hondas.

I dont like when ppl call my car an altima... I tell them to go read the dang badge again, then they come back feeling stupid asking me how much i get it for.

Definitely vote for debadge here. I picked up a black '13 sport package a few weeks ago and was really happy with the results, looks clean IMHO. Nice cheap mod. I'm enjoying my GT-R start button too! Got to be at least 25hp gain between the two.

I say shine it up nice and keep it. Def don't take it off without a spoiler. Rock Nissan with pride they make a hell of a go-machine.

If you mean long chrome piece along the top of the license plate...It wouldn't look good at all, I've had it off...reminds me of the 6th gen rear end a bit
