shave or not to shave that is the question...

i have a 96' white max... i have the gold emblems back and front.. now i took them off because im getting them chromed or polished cuz that would go better with my altezzas.. but when i took them off it looked good and now im debating between getting them polished/chrome and putting them back on or leaving them off and even taking out the keyhole thing. what are your opinions on this and one more thing what is the best way to get rid of the key hole.


thanx in advance
ciao

you would need to take it to a body shop if you want to remove the key hole, and as far as removing the nissan, use some fishing wire or dental floss and scrape the emblem off and then polish the area

Shave it all baby!! Personally, I like the clean look. To see what I mean, see ptatohed's ride, he shaved all emblems, trunk hole and antanae. Remember, it's not what we like, it's what you like. let us know what you decide. Later.

an easy way to solve the keyhole problem, although i don't know if it would work too well on white, but some people have just painted their keyhole body color, and you can't really tell it's there until you look closely...a lot cheaper than body work...and shaved makes the @$$ look nice

hmm i like the letters there, when i burn sumone they can read
the "M A X I M A" on my a$$ and know wut not to mess with again..but then again i dont think the shaved look looks bad either, but i think the letters make this car different from alotta other cars out there, just the style and design

This summer I am going to take the bunched up MAXIMA off my 98 and buying some spread out letters like the 95/96.

Has anyone done this?
