Took off the Nissan hamburger on my trunk 2 weeks ago and finally had time to take some pics.

Rushguy

Hmmm looks good..can you take one closer up please?

theSmoothDome

How's this?

Smoothdome, did you have to do any body work or paint to get it to look that good? I haven't looked closely at mine yet, is it just stuck onto paint?

theSmoothDome

Nope. Just used a hair dryer and some fishing line to peel it off. I did have to spend a little time rubbing the tape that was left on the car, but there wasn't any paint damage at all.

Ok, so what test fishing line did you use and how long on dryer before you could slide the line?

I only had 4lb test and it kept breaking. I heated emblem for a min or so.

I used a 20 ib test line and heated the emblem for about 4 or 5 minutes on medium heat. The line went thru with ease. I did the same with the recessed emblem on the front (and replaced it with a third part Z emblem}. Looks great!

try this, wait till the first 80 degree day, a piece of string or fishing line an wala..... no hair dryer..... easy

theSmoothDome

I used 15 lb test that I found in the garage. Since neither the wife or I fish I have no idea where it came from. In fact, because it was just sitting in the garage, I decided to take off the badge.

Anyway, I heated the badge for a couple of minutes. Tried the fishing line. Heated it some more. Tried the fishing line. ETC. I kept breaking the line through the whole process, but eventually, it went all the way through. Total time was maybe 20 minutes.

Thanks, I hope you don't mind, but I had to copy. It looks great. Advice to others, don't use your thumb to rub with....Damn blister! LOL Again thanks for the idea and fishing line tip. Worked like a charm.

Mine's totaly naked.... My Vanity plate is 350.ZR I love it.
I have an extra 'Z' badge if anyone needs one....

theSmoothDome

It looks great FLZ. I waffled back in forth on the LS or the DB. Damn, I love the DB. I got a blister from where I wrapped the fishing line around my finger. Putting on a pair of gloves helped a lot.

Thanks again, When I read your post , I was in the garage in less than 2 minutes. Real Happy here. Z Ya! Dave

Did you guys have the Z that long before you took it off? I've had my CS for about 8 months and I'm afraid to see a shadow or some discoloration after I take mine off.

Those pictures look so SWEET!

theSmoothDome

I had mine about 2 months when I did it. Still deciding whether or not to take the 350Z off and put a Fairlady Z badge on.
