Do Not De-badge The Hamburger

on the trunk. It is held in place by more than just adhesive. There are two small holes in the trunk for two small plastic posts on the back of the Nissan emblem. The only problem is that fishing line cuts through these post almost as easily as it goes through the adhesive.

fortunately the glue is strong enough to hold it in place by itself, so I was able to just press it back on. I may have to go back after it with some strong adhesive later if I find it isn't staying on.

Otherwise, my Maxi looks fine without the chrome "MAXIMA" and "SE" logo's

Probably to keep their logos on their cars. You know, build brand recognition and all that fun stuff.

Came off real easy. Fishing line, sawing motion...peal off the glue....no problem for the paint.

Wanted to do it to my other car but the holes are not centered, might look strange. 2 holes from dealer emblem, plus 2 more for ford emblem. 'nother bad thing is fords holes are not the same size! (guess so you cant put the emblem on upside down)
