Sort of like this:


I'd be curious to see it done.

It will be difficult and you would have to get an exacto knife to cut the plastidip to separate those two pieces.

At this point, you're getting "too cute" with it.

That's where I'm at with it too. In theory it sounds good, but visualizing it in my head, it just doesn't seem to work.

I think I may try it with some vinyl wrap next time I have some scraps.

It wont the "350z" symbol just has adhesive on the back, use some polishing compound to get the remaining gunk off the car and your good to go.

The hamburger is a different story...youll have 2 holes there

Here's a how to on Club Lexus. I followed these exactly. It's very easy.

I wonder if this stuff would work on the inside door panels. You know how they get all scratched up?

There are several other threads that have had nice results (nothing wrong with a cheap alternative; plus it's easily reversible).

Can someone help me? I got the 350z emblems off now I'm having the hardest time getting the rear Nissan emblem Off? I'm using a heated blow dryer and some dental floss? Any help please!

Edit: finally got it off using a credit card. what did you guys do when putting them back on? do they just stick back on fine? Do I need to purchase some "adhesive" spray???

I heard a lot of people bragging this stuff up at a local show a few weeks back. After checking out that step by step on the IS site - I'm impressed!! I didn't realize it was that easy and turned out that nice. Now I know what my friends and I will be doing next week. Cheers guys!
