Fishing line, goo gone, patients, heat gun maybe.

Beware, you have holes behind the nissan emblem unless you are a roadster

yea, use a heat gun or hairdryer on the emblem to soften the adhesive. use dental floss/fishing line to get underneath the emblem. once you get it off, clean off excess adhesive.

Yes, the 350Z emblem has NO holes behind it no matter what.

Nissan emblem does have 2 holes on the coupe (from my own experience) but none on the roadster (from others' experience). I had mine shaved at a body shop.

hamburger
if your askin about the emblems that say 350Z to the left of the badge then no, there are no holes there, they are just adhesive but if you take them off make sure you dont want them back on again because they are all separate pieces and will be very hard to put back on correctly.

I did post about 10 minutes before I went to lunch
I have a Roadster (No Hamburger Holes), and I removed the badges. But for the longest time, I left the Z emblem on the side on. I don't know why, but I liked it.

The 350z was really easy to get off, but the hamburger required a lot of heat gunning. I ended up using a petroleum-based decal remover similar to goo gone, and a plastic butter knife. My car is also an '03, so it was pretty nasty.

I took my 350Z off, it wasnt hard at all. It looks like it was never there. Then i tried to take the Nissan symbol off, yeah that was a mistake, lol. I started to take it off, then i saw the holes so i quickly put it back on, lol. But i am workin on getting the gold powdercoated one.

Yeah, I really want it off. I am just wondering how much to fill & paint the holes. It doesnt really seem worth it.

It isn't. Shaving the holes left behind by the hamburger requires painting and clearing the entire hatch, if one is to do it right. I had mine done alongwith getting the rear wiper shaved because the shop scrapped up some paint while replacing my OEM spoiler with the Nismo one and had to paint the hatch anyway. I was immediately glad they made the original mistake though; rear end looks great without the gigantic Nissan hamburger and the wiper.

Buy a carbon hatch.

Just kidding. Yes, as everyone else has said, the center hamburger emblem has these two holes. Pull the emblem off, and you get a nice pignose effect on your rear end. If you do decide to get them shaved, yank the antenna and get that hole filled. In fact, get rid of the antenna while you're at it.

Just my .02

kthxbye
