Just shaved trunk ... EASY!!!!
Just shaved trunk ... EASY!!!!
Ok, after much debate, I ended up shaving the hamburger off my 95 SE and left the M A X I M A.
I used 3M's Ahesive tar & adhesive remover (safe for most cured automotive paints).
First, I took 3" clear tape and taped over the M A X I M A. Then, I slowly poured the 3M stuff on the hamburger and wiped off any drippage (the tape was a safety measure to prevent damage to the M A X I M A).
After a couple of minutes, I used dental floss which kept snapping on me but finally got it off by working at the edges and moving inward.
I rolled the remaining adhesive into a ball, it peeled away just fine. No hairdryer needed. Now, the photoshopped pic on my homepage is a reality.
Looks good. Going to the car wash now, then time for a wax!

DCmax, Those are indeed Konig Caffeines, 17x8, 19.9 lbs. each, DIRT cheap to afford. And yes Cyrus is right they are the best in the world
. I also am ridin' on B&G springs on stock SE struts. I have had the b&g's paired with my stock struts for 6 months now and they are still alive and kickin...I'm not gonna blow $350 on AGX's until I am forced too...am I cheap? Some may say...but If I want a full body kit I can't be blowin' tha $ on boring 'ol struts.

I thought the hamburger has a hole in it? Or does it? I shaved the maxima but wanted to do the hamburger too!

Being that we have the same year car, 1995
Was there any color discoloration, or fade
when you took off the "nissan" emblem?
I want to do that also, but i have a pebble
beige color and I dont want to take it off
and have any problems with the colors not
matching.
hit me back,
