Nissan rear hamburger sign
I want to replace my rear Nissan hamburger sign with a Z one that I am looking at from the Z store. It says that the rear bumper fascia, behind the rear emblem near the left and right edges, are two (one per side) non-critical small "nipples" for positioning of the factory emblem. These can be trimmed before installation simply (a small knife or razor will work fine).
Has anyone done this and are the two nipples the only think that is needed to be removed. The link to the logo is below. Motorsport! Big "Z" Rear Emblem, Black with Black Carbon Fiber, 09-12 370Z - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts

STOP!!!!! Do not take a knife to your car! Use fishing string. And or look up the DIY on it.

no way can fishing line or string smooth those bumps out bud.. they're pretty solid pieces of fiberglass. They pretty much have to be chopped off or ground down (small hand held belt grinder / sander)

First off to remove the Emblem?
Use dental floss or fishing string and work the whole perimeter once it's loose enough pull it off, and remove the left over adhesive with goop. You could use a utility knife or exacto knife to cut the guide out or use a Dremel grinder, And grind it off. Be very carefully with whatever approach you feel comfortable with .

I know about the fishing line method! I was just confused about using the knife to cut the bumps. Just curious. I don't even know if I am going to do this as I don't want to over Z it on the rear. (370Z logo, Z vanity plate)

I used a Dremel to knock down the nubs. Take your time and you won't have any problems.
