if I debadge the trunk, is there a thin double stick tape that would be strong enough to hold the emblems thoughout the weather changes or will I need to buy new emblems?

 

I used 3m tape from Pepboys to reapply my "Tuned by Stillen" emblem after the tape that was on it, lost its grip. It's been on there for 3 years no, and its not budging....

 

You actually want to re-badge it? Personally, I would just leave it off, but since you asked...

Here's a couple of site that might provide the answers for you

Thanks for the replies fellas. I like having the badges plus I have a GXE badge. My wife hates to see debadged Maximas so I don't want her in my ear talking about how stupid it looks. I would just mask off the badges and spray over them but I want to make this job look good.

 

Do you have remote trunk release? Shave it all off including the keyhole

 

I do have the remote trunk release but my wife will hate it. I have to please her too.

 

Heh heh, your wife and mine are exact opposites. Mine loves the Max debadged...

 

Had to....

 

While you're at it, paint the badges the same color as the body color. I will do that myself one of these days.

 

I thought about that. You think it will look good?

 

I think it would sooooo much better than the chrome. Won't be a naked rear, but will blend alot better I think.

 

Body-colored badges always look like the painter was really lazy to me... black chrome (like the 2000-2001 SE) would look really good against your car though.

 

I kinda feel the same way about body colored badges especially with are that's not black.

 

the double sided tape from 3m thats BLACK, not clear. the black stuff will stick forever

 

now does she despise putting different badges on?
