NO...not that rear end. Do you think a 95 max would look better with the letters shaved off the trunk or on.

Peace - Chad

SHAVE IT!!

 

if you have red/clear tails I'm sure it would look pretty good

I like the Maxima though, I just wana hsave the Nissan Hamburger

 

i say shave that ****. let me know what you do, and how you do it

 

i had mine done at a bodyshop for like $30. They even ran a polishing wheel over the entire rear end to make it shine nice! then again this was 3yrs ago.

 

Shave it and don't look back.

 

you paid someone to remove save the rear end for you

 

If I do shave it....how long will an imprint of the letters be on there?

 

it wont be ther if you do it right, and wax the trunk after you do it.

 

well what is the right way? and someone paid someone to have it done?? damn that's a waste of money

 

grab your self a heat gun or hairdryer, some good strong dental floss or anything as such. Heat up the area you want to remove and cut the glue wiht the floss. This will take a while (5 minutes) after you remove the nissan sign or whatnot use some googone to remove the rest of the glue thats on the trunt. Then wax.

 

I shaved mine, and I put some 2001 blck chrome emblems. I like it.

 

hey 1FSTMax what kind of emblems? what does it say on it?

 

shave it, u can alway put the letters back if u dont like it.

 

Shave the 'M A X I M A'

Save the Hamburger logo.

 

i agree.......shave the 'maxima'.... leave the nissan emblem . it will match the front nissan emblem on the grille.....im planning on shaving a$$ in May as well ( only the 'M A X I M A' part.....then if i don't like the emblem either...i'll shave it as well later on.)

 

looks great.. just lower it

I only have the hamburger shaved and it does look a lot cleaner without it, if I feel like it, I'll put it back on later..

 

personally, i think 95-96 are ugly trunks, but i dont like the shaved look

 

Thanks , i plan on lowering it soon, i just wanna go to a meet frist and see what kind drop i wouldl like u know.

BTW i see ur trunk has some sorta lip to it is this on all 97+ or i dont know maybe its just the angle. im going spoilerless anyway soon.

 

and make sure you wax it too!! lol

personally, I prefer the non-shaved look unless you have a rear valence/bumper. It looks too plain w/o one

 

is there a problem with having my emblams shaved by a pro??

for $30 i got alot done, the key hole was painted to match and they ran a polishing wheel over the entire trunk to get rid of any marks from the emblams. Plus it was money i made making ID's when i was away at college

Ant

 

ant, where'd u go to do that??? and do u guys think a shaved back would look ok on a beige max?

 

Do in the other way.

Shave the Hamburger logo

Save the MAXIMA

 

2001 AE black chrome emblems.

 

What about moving the Nissan emblem down further towards the center? Seems like it'd look weird up top with nothing below it.

 

Dhan - that shift **** looks great!

Were you the one asking for opinions on shift patterns a few months ago? Is this the result of that?

Did you put together a DIY tip for this?

 

Heh, yeah that was me, didnt want to give it away then it would just get ppl anxios.

Im gonna be selling them in a week, anyway color, pattern u want.

 

Do you have a picture of the black chrome letters your talking about?

Shave it all!

I say go for it - one of the first things I did. Following is a top 10 list I made when someoen else asked this question. This is all just my opinion, but here you go:


The top 10 reasons to shave your Maxima and Nissan trunk logos:



11. It will make your car 2 ounces lighter which will help your 1/4 mile time by .0000001s. I'm just kidding, o.k., seriously, on to the top 10:


10. Because we CAN!! Be grateful we can even do it. Some cars like the Accord, have holes behind the emblyms.

9. Advertising sucks!

8. The M-A-X-I-M-A emblym is just way too large.

7. The Nissan hamburger isn't the best looking logo to begin with. A truly good logo doesn't need to say the manufacturer inside it like Nissan, Ford, BMW, etc. Ex. Look at Lexus, Infiniti, Toyota, Acura, Mercedes, etc.

6. Anybody who knows cars, will still know it's a Maxima. If anybody needs to read Maxima to know you have a Maxima, they aren't worth letting know you have a Maxima in the first place. (Huh? what did I just say?)

5. It adds some mystery to your car. It makes people think for a second.

4. It is just way too much fun when you get a parking ticket at school and the Make/model reads 'Unknown'!

3. Chrome sucks! It is tacky and outdated.

2. Be unique! Why look like every other non-customized Maxima out there? And even most customized Maximas for that matter!

1. And the number one reason... drum roll please... go for the CLEAN look!!


Now just make sure to paint the keyhole body color (or shave it - but that's expensive). Good luck and let us know what you decide.

 

Use a little meguire's body scrub to remove the remnants
of the adhesive / lettering outlines. Works great..not much effort. Follow up with a coat of wax.

 

Is there any way to get that painted on dealer logo off my rear?

Also, if I shave my rear, will it grow back?

I like it, but not sure if I can make the keyhole look good with my touch up Nissan pt, and afraid I'll be a ticket/ricer target (latter not so bad I guess

out

 

Yes, it will grow back...but i heard it itches =/

Anyone have a pic of the black chrome emblems I'm hearing about?

I think it looks better with the nissan emblem taken off and the Maxima left on .....but I have a 98' so it is a smaller piece...


D

 

Anyone have a pic of the black chrome emblems from the 2002 maximas I keep hearing about...

THanks - Chad

 

The black chrome emblems were only available only in the 2000-2001 Maximas.

 

Right, I know....but people have been saying they put them on 4th gens, I just wanted to see what it would look like.
