I installed a stereo in the Z last week and put some scratches in the number placard on the center console. I figure that I can polish the scratches out but I need to get the placard off first. Is it just glued down?

Thanks.

 

It just pops out, take a butter knife or something you can pry under the plaque and pull up on one of the corners.

 

Any chance that it will bend all to **** when I pry it up? I haven't been having very good luck lately.

 

Ugh. Well now my number plate is polished and weird looking. Is it impossible to get my number plate replaced? I just want a fresh start.

HALP!

 

I just receive my number plate From Nissan two weeks ago after seven months.

The dealer scratch my plate after they remove my dash.
I did not know the plate number was so sensitive to scratches, so after they return it i have cover the plate with the clear cover is used on the clear bra.
now i can relax.

 

And how much did you paid for your plate number?
Or they just replaced to you coz they scratched yours?

 

Got any pics of the damage?

 

Not really

 

You can buy a replacement but it is really expensive... and you will have to wait a long time. Search on the forum, I know someone made a post about it before.

Something like, you have to send in your #plate in first and then after they confirm they send out your new one? Like $300??? Something like that....

 

Here is my weird mess of a Nismo serial plate.



I sent an email to Courtesy Nissan about getting a new one. Hopefully they can help.

I searched for the thread about getting it replaced and didn't come up with anything.

 

Why not try to put a nice brush-finish look back on it? I've done that a couple times in different applications, takes a little patience but looks nice if done right.

 

It don't look that bad, leave it alone it will get scratched again sooner or later.

 

^^^^

fact if it's a DD

it's gonna happen again...

 

I can live with it if I have to. I just get a little OCD with my cars from time to time.

It's just funny to me that the only part I scratch while putting my stereo in was the one-off part that you can't replace with out a headache.

 

It's not that big of a headache. Go to a Nissan dealership, pay $195, give them your current plaque which they send back, and wait for the new one to come in.

 

^ Hey! I like that answer.
If that's all it takes I'll put an order in when I have my car in for an oil change next week.

I'll post how it goes.

 

I finally went to the dealer and the parts guy looked at me like I was a crazy person. I had a feeling they wouldn't have any idea how to order this damn thing.

 

^^^ HA! Aint that the trueth and even if they did, they would look at it... Think to themselves.... "Are you F*cking serious?! You have gotta be kidding me right?!" lol

I had the same thing happen to my number plate when I got a new stereo installed a while ago, it got scratched up. I thought about trying to buff it out, but haven't. It's hard to tell from your picture how good/bad it looks, I take it that it looks worse now than it did before?

What exactly did you use to buff it?
