I'm thinking about shaving my trunk and putting the emblem on my dash. Can the sterling mist max's on the org post pics of their car with a shaved trunk. Especially if you don't have a spoiler.....i'm beginning to think it will look weird without "MAXIMA" on the back. What do you guys think? Thanx

 

i personally want to just shave off the nissan emblem, and leave the maxima. i think it needs the maxima to tie it all together, unless you get rid of it all. And if you take off the nissan symbol, you can put it on your ash tray thing.

 

i took off the nissan emblem and love the way it cleans up the tail of the car.... would look weird without the MAXIMA on the back though....IMO

 

if u decide to shave ur trunk, do not use the same M_A_X_I_M_A symbol on your dash. Its too long and oogly.Use the smaller one from custommaxima.

 

hope Steve and Matt don't mind me posting their pic, BUt here you go

 

Shave the hamburger, leave the MAXIMA. Looks nicer!

 

Shave it all. See for yourself.

Before


After

 

wowww......hard decision....everyone has mixed feelings. What do you think I should do....I have a Sterling Mist max with no spoiler and it has altezzas. Shave everything or leave one of the symbols?

 

make sure u use mach 3 turbo with gillet shaving cream

 

even though i just have the burger shaved, if i could do it again, i'd leave the burger and shave the maxima. i think cars like that look hot too! i scratched under the maxima letters when changing from faded gold to the silver/chrome so i don't really want to shave maxima now.

 

any pics with just the burger on?

 

oh yeah. Gillet, the best a Maxima can get.

 

shave evrything like i di including the keyhole

 

Its Gillette but who cares. Shave all!

 

doesn't shaving the keyhole call for a shop? i want to shave mine because it doesn't work anyway, but i doubt I could bondo it right.

 

i just shaved my trunk today, got rid of the max, and the nissan emblem. It looks pretty sweet on the dark evergreen. Just gotta get rid of the outlining of the letters. Any suggestions?

 

It will come off with some car washing, I have trouble taking off super glue on my burger emblem. It was a big stupid mistake, I stuck the burger emblem with super glue on the back, after swapped my gold emblems for slivers, and shaved the maxima off. Now I have silver emblems (with the rear emblem looking like if it had some water dribbling down. Dont know what to use, I've tried glue gone, gasoline, ............. any suggestoins. Oh but the maxima outline is gone.

 

alright. i put a coat of wax over it when i was done, and you can notice it at the right angle. I guess with time it'll go away

 

i have a pearl maxima that had chrome door handles and for some reason gold maxima letters nyway i shaved my trunk completely and thought it was missing something so i put the M A X I M A back on and it makes it look so much better. i have a 96 so that glue was on ther and i found that get some rubbing alcohol on a rag and start rubbing it took all the glue off for me.

 

how do you insert an image onto a post?

 

How do you go about shaving off any emblems safely? I'd rather not dmage the paint if possible.

 

take some fishing line and just use it like saw in between the paint and the emblem. then goo gone to get teh glue off. works like a charm

 

i just used a hair dryer and heated it up... then pulled it off by hand... fishing line didnt do anything for me but make me think i was getting it off... it was useless for my car

 

i used dental floss, goo gone, and ALOT of elbow grease

 

Get a homepage on cardomain. Host your pics there and then host them here also.

 

I say shave it all. It would look especially good if you get red/clears eventually. I also have pics of the maxima emblem on a tan dash. I can e-mail them to you, but I don't have anywhere to host them.

 

Do what YOU like.....

 

I did what Maxima99SEBose did, I like how it looks!

 

About shaving, If you've ever been rearended or repainted they will not come off with fishing line because body shops use a much stronger glue; I believe it is epoxy. I had to pry mine up and then sand away the epoxy that was left over. I was doing full paint at the time so it didn't matter.

 

here's my car with the shaved trunk

 

Do what YOU like, it's your friggin car!
