Removing Emblems

[SilverSpec-V]

This might be a simple ?? for some. I want to remove my NISSAN and se-r emblems and not sure if there will be holes or heavy glue used to put them on. Will there be holes and how can I fill them, or will there be a lot of S#*T I will need to scrape off? PLease help. Thanx.

Here's the scoop.

All emblems on the rear as well as the SER badges on the side are basically just stickers. They have an adhesive on the back that loosens when heated.

Take a hair dryer and warm them up, then some waxed dental floss to run behind the badge to get it off. It shouldn't leave much resedue. Nothing that a wash cloth won't take completely off. Just remember to give it a couple coats of wax to protect it.

This holds true for the silver NISSAN badge on the rear as well. There are no screws into the trunk. There will be no holes or blemeshes when you are done.

As for the front. The Nissan badge has tabs that were pressed to the side and melted on. Take a screw driver and pry them up. Takes a lot of work to get them off. Took me at least an hour. I was not happy. But, it comes off eventually.

Hope that helps.

Thanx for those tips, GB. Do you know how to get the NISSAN emblem off of the trunk lid? Is it also a sticker like the se-r stickers?

[GB Phoenix77]

Yes, from what I gather, it is a sticker and should come off in the same fashion as the rest. I have not done it myself, but I have heard others have.

Thanx again GB. I just removed them all, and yes the emblem on the trunk lid is a sticker. The glue/adhesive wipes off fairly easy. Thanx.

Glad you were able to get all the badges off. Car looks pretty nice cleaned up like that doesn't it?

I removed the SENTRA lettering from the back and the NISSAN Hamburger from the front grille. I took both front grilles off and painted them chrome/silver. Then I got another SE-R badge from my local dealer and put it where the old NISSAN badge was. I think it is a major improvement. Aside from that and a lot of audio install, I painted my brake calipers red. I have a Black Spec-V, and the red calipers look really sharp.

Good luck with your mods (Cosmetic and/or Performance), and let us all know how things turn out.

Take Care

Thanx again GB. Since you mentioned painting your calipers, can you also teach me? I also posted a new thread titled "Break Caliper Paint" so others that might be interested could benefit from your wealth.

Hey Silver Spec V...

You got any pics of what your ride looks like w/out the emblems? I'm just curious to see how it looks. Thanks.

Sorry, I'm kinda slow. I'm still trying to figure out how to work my digital camera. I will get to it as soon as I get a chance and post my pics to share with you all. But to answer your ?? Jm, I personally think it is very nice without the emblems but my girl thinks I should have left the SE-R badges on because it's not just any sentra, it's a SE-R.

I left the Spec-V stickers on.

sorry bro', i'm not usually into talking about other peoples cars........but........why the hell did you paint your side skirts red........i thought the grill was bad, but the side skirts too.......why would you mess up a sweet looking ride like that.

[Thomas7779]

I agree. It looks awful...

But to each his own i guess.

I like how your car looks w/o the badge... can't decide about the color of the front grill tho... silver would probably look a lot cleaner...

I agree with the other about the sideskirts, paint em black, and drop it a few inches and it will look pimp...
