I was gonna wash the Z tomorrow on my day off and while i was out there i was thinking about debagding her. I mean everyone knows its a Z so i dont think i need em on there. Might make it look a little cleaner cosmetically as well. Any thoughts?

 

I would leave the Z on the side fenders, but the 350Z emblem should definitely go...I WAS thinking of removing the Nissan symbol in the back, but decided to wait until something cool comes along that I could put there...Here is a pic of my rear

 

looks good. Mine is silverstone as well. I think i'll do them all except the fender badges. Still kinda thinking about those too. I wish i could get the front badge off but its recessed in the bumper.

 

I debadged the Nissan hamburgers on the back. I like the look.

We don't need no stinkin' badges!

 

Did you smoke your brake lights? They look darker.

 

One more thing, .. how do you safetly take them off without ripping up the paint?

 

3M adhesive remover, dental floss,and hair dryer

 

Yup. Window tint.

 

The adhesive remover and dental floss I get. The hair dryer has me a little puzzled tho.. You suggesting heating up the emblem before applying a layer of adhesive remover around the emblem and dental floss to dig in? If so... how hot do you get it.... until it singes your hand to touch it or just mildly warm?

 

if its really hot outside (like it will be tomorrow because im in Texas) you might not even need the hairdryer. But if you do use it you have to be careful not to get it too hot. Dont wanna damage the paint or anything.

there might be other debadging techniques, this is just what i know about.

its also good to clean and wax the spot where the badge was.

 

Thanks, .. there goes my badges! I never really cared for them in the first place. The car is very exotic looking and is definately unique which stands out as a Z w/o them. Thx for the tip.

 

sure thing....be sure to hold a rag under the badge when you spray the adhesive remover to keep it from dripping.

 

when removing the big NISSAN logo there's holes in the back.

Anyhow,u used exactly the same technique as other guys,floss,goo gone,hair dryer.But you can try fishing line unsted of dental floss,it doesnt break like the floss....

 

www.bluebatmobile.com is where I got the Vinyl overlays, as far as removing the 350Z emblem, I just pulled the little ***** off, and I used my finger to rub the sticky **** off, paint is perfectly fine. Floss kept breaking on me, so I used my fingers....lol

 

Did you use the 350z badge on the back or did you use the door kick panels emblem?

 

I used the 350 "Z"badge,all doe it is not large enough to cover the holes perfectly.

 

That's got this essence to it..like "You don't need to know nothin else - its a Z" I like it!

 

That is nice. I hadn't seen any close ups of the Nissan badge removed from the back, looks really good.

I actually have begun to really like the Nissan hamburger badges so while I did remove the 350Z and dealer stickers I'm going to leave the Nissan badges.

 

I love it....

 

Ill have to do this myself, all the writing and stick on emblems merely detract from the lines of the car. Someone should make a Z piece or some sort of coverup for the nissan badges on front and back.

Looks like the black z on the side will leave a big divot if you take it out. If anyone has any suggestions for coverups id really like to take those off.
