Couple quick Q's about emblems and springs

real quick, 2 Q's
I shaved off my nissan burger on the trunk, and i read that it leaves the imprint of the old emblem, and i can see it barely, does this go away? i washed over it and waxed it but i can still kinda see it? any help would be great

last, if i were to buy lowering springs for my car with the stock 16s, could i buy some say 17s, and still use those same lowering springs? would the drop be the same? thanks

Yes the mark will come out with time and sunlight. It needs to fade to the shade of the rest of your paint.. give it a month and wax/claybar frequently.

You could buy up to a 19" wheel without worrying about rubbing even with lowering springs. What really matters is the width of the wheel (I know 9.5" will rub). Anyways a standard 17"x8" or 18"x8" wheel should not rub with any lowering springs, granted you pick the proper tire size.

Same deal with all emblems and yes I believe some people have taken them off successfully.
