Search Cops should be arresting you soon, but you need a heat gun to heat it up and floss. It will then come off.. Or take it to a body shop..

The emblem is held by double sided tape.. Very Strong stuff..

You can buy label remover in a purple can at advance autoparts. It works well...

OP is talking about the Nissan emblem, not the 350Z emblem. I'm not 100% sure since I have not taken mine off but I believe the Nissan badge is bolted down.

What about the front Nissan badge? I'm thinking about replacing it with a Z badge.

on fishing line

Ive heard a few people say use a heat gun or blowdriver to warm up the sticky stuff. Use a floss or a fishing line to shear it off. Im not sure how you can clean up the residue without screwing up the paint though.

Very easy:
1: Heat it up VERY hot with a blowdryer
2: take fishing line (floss just broke a million times for me) and get it under the edges
3: Pull hard, in a sawing motion until it comes off
4: heat up the left over tape on the bumper and roll it off with your finger.

what i did to get mine off was take a flatheaded screwdriver and a piece of thin cloth or something like it and pry it up...stick the cloth against the paint so you dont scratch it and your set...i got a badge replacement kit so my two holes were covered

What I did was take a knife and knock it off with swift blows to the front bumper and also used some paint thinner to strip the double sided tape glue..


P.S. some of the emblems are welded on, you must take a high pitch torch to it then!!
