Default Removing Emblems?

I just got my 06 yesterday and I got it from Jerry's Nissan. I have a big shiny logo on the back that says "Jerry's" and I want to remove it. Dont want people thinking this is Jerry's nissan. I was wondering what is the best way to do this and if it is going to damage the paint.

I was in garage just messing with them and noticed they were just held on with double sided adhesive pads. They came right off and for now I just wiped it clean. Might have to go back over it with some kind of cleaner to remove film.

I made sure before I put any money down on the car that there would be no such emblems on my car. The dealer told me they dont put them on any Z's, but every other car that came through there got one.

They really weren't that sticky. I felt paint and checked for a sticky film and didn't see or fill any. Dust will probably collect on it though.

Hairdryer and finger rubbing works best for me.

Take it back to the dealer and make them remove it. I told my dealer that If they wanted to advertise on my car they would have to pay for it.

+1 for the hairdryer and then I just used Meguiar's wax to get off the adhesive from the sticker. Worked perfectly. I hate those dealership stickers too!!!

I told the dealership that if they put one of their stickers on my car, they could keep the car and I would go to another dealership.
