de-badging my 99i30
i was lookin on cardomain at the i30's and im pretty sure that i want to take the i30 badge and i n f i n i t i off of the trunk lid. Also i am going to take the pinstripes off sometime this week. Just wanted your guys opinion and maybe some helpful hints on how to de-badge, I couldn't find info anywhere on this. thanks
it's easy to do. Helps if it's warm outside as well. Just take some fishing line and use it like you would if you were flossing. Work it back and forth and it should come off easy. There may be some sticky residue left and it may take some polishing and waxing to completely remove the outline of the lettering.
Here is a pick of my rear end

When I got my G35 I had to sign a waiver that said I would not perform any vandalism on my car, including de-badging, that would reflect poorly on the years of hard work and expertise put into the car’s original design by its engineers. Furthermore, if de-badged, I promised to exchange my car for any Honda rice rocket they had on the lot in that I no longer deserved an Infiniti.

think I'll leave just the infiniti logo in the middle and take the rest off
Is it the same with the pinstripes, i'm sure they are stickers..well not totally sure.
My next mod will be a stock looking spoiler, but I also like that small lip spoiler I saw at the paradox site.

done
well I took off the pinstripes this weekend using a heat gun. A hairdryer would work just as well though if anyone else wants to do it, its very easy and only took like 10mins. I also removed the i30 badging on the rear using the heat gun/fishing line. It was also easy but left alot more gunk which I removed using goo gone. After everything I waxed it and now you can hardly see where anything was. Definitely THE best exterior mod available for free.........
