why would you want to. A clean trunk looks the best IMO.

Epoxy will work well.

yeah, epoxy, if you never want it to come off again. Just make sure you make it a clean job, cause you'll never get it back off if you make a mess. Good thin double sided tape maybe?

Debadge that thing, it looks good that way.

A thin double sided tape should do the job, I had a 5th gen "SE" badge held on with it for about a year with no issues. It was pretty easy to remove again when I chose to also.

The front badge fell off. The back is already smooth.

ummmmmm, epoxy? I think it would work whether its on the front or the rear. In fact, epoxying the front should be way easier.

if you are careful with it, it is fine, but I agree, it could get messy with a mistake.

hey man, he needed a solution. I gave him one. Double sided works if it isn't thick and cold out...or else it'll never stick.

Or you can go to a hobby shop and ask for servo tape, it is a double sided tape that hobbyists use to hold servos, electronic speed controls, and anything else that needs to be held down, and it has great strength to it, but can still be easily removed.

Why would you say you agree with the clean trunk then say to use super glue. Every thread I see you post in, it's absurd information. Gonna get yourself

my M_A_X_I_M_A sign on the trunk is peeling the silver chrome, i am going to try to remove it once it gets warm, or even summer

Do u have to use something like a hot air fan to warm up the glue before u take it off ? and how do u NOT scratch the paint ?

You be careful. Fishing line and credit card. If you do it in the summer then you don't need to heat it too much. Hair dryer should be fine.

what's funny is, everyone commenting on a clean trunk...when he said it was ALREADY DEBADGED. He's looking for something for the grill.

dont think anyone noticed that. I thought we were talking about the back since there is no maxima badge on the front. Should have posted correctly that the Nissan badge fell off. Now I agree with BlackMaxdout that epoxy is a good solution.
