For the rear, some fishing line will work. I warmed the area with a heat gun and gently worked fishing line under the adhesive. The first time I removed the rear Nissan emblem I just taped the paint off and pried with a screwdriver but it warped the chrome in the emblem a little bit. The front is trickier because the emblem is indented. When I removed my old one, I just pried from the inside destroying the emblem in the process.

Fishing line and heat on the back
Wrapped a small flat head screwdriver in a piece of cloth, then pried up one end of the front emblem. You can use fishing line after you get one end up. Just gotta be careful. I put a little nick in my paint on the front also, but it's fully covered by the emblem I got

I've got some leftover sticky on the paint. What's the best way to get it off?

Does anyone on here have a stock Nissan Emblem for the rear laying around somewhere? I would trade a Fender Z emblem (Which I have on my rear hatch) for it or just buy it...

Thanks guys.

WD40 works great to remove the residue off.
