Removed Strips on 16 Nismo Mirrors
 

Yesterday cleaned up the car and removed the stripes that come on the mirrors. I always thought they looked more like and an afterthought! I think it now flows better with the tinted window! :tup:

I agree...i never really liked the red stripe on the mirror. Looks great now and blends in well with the window tint.

Sweeeeeeet !

Much cleaner nice

Agreed

When you removed the red stripe, does that area underneath look any different than the rest of the mirror?

NO it does not. I was very lucky. The sticker did not leave behind any goop, but I did use some WD-40, followed by soap and water. Used a very light compound and then wax. You would never know they were there!! :tup:

The should have painted it if they where gonna do it. The sticker just makes it look like a cheap after thought.

My car wasn't even off the transfer truck and I was pulling it off the mirrors, front and rear bumpers. Always hated it...trying to hard in my op.

I also removed my stripes off the mirrors, along with the little fender flares.

Car is looking mint!.. I need a Nismo..

Post a few pictures!!!:tup:

For what it's worth, I've been using 3M for years on my vehicles, e.g., debadge, removing dealer decals, stickers, etc. It works like a charm and won't damage paint or clear coat, and requires much less muscle and time to finish a job.

A little zippo lighter fluid (naphtha) on a soft cloth will take care of any remaining "goo" and will not harm the paint. Good thing to keep around the house in case you need to remove some stickers or burn something down, too.

Looking CLEAN!!! How hard was it to remove the one from the fenders?
I already did mirror and they came off immediately, but when I went to do fenders they were not as easy, so I'm waiting/wanting to do fenders, front and back bumper. Any suggestions?

Thank you!
First, I drilled the rivets out with a small drill bit. The hard part was the double sided tape. I used my fingers to rub as much of the tape off as i could, some came off easily and some of it didn't want to come off right away. I used Goo Gone and a microfiber towel to clean off stubborn stuff. Goo Gone is good because it's citrus based and won't harm the paint. It takes some time to do it properly so you have to have a little patience.

On the mirror stickers did you guys just use the ol' fingernail method and clean up with wax?

Jet, that is what I did and used WD-40 or you can use goo gone followed by wax and your done. I hardly used any WD-40, then used some soap and water on a clean rag, then wax. Took me about 20 minutes. :tup:

THANKS!

I just got my Nismo on Monday, drove it home, out to work on Tuesday & she's sitting at the airport waiting on me to get home! Can't WAIT for this weekend!!!!!

Red Stripes REMOVED!

Can you upload a picture of what your car looks like without any of the red on the front/rear bumpers?

In my album:pics:

I'm sorry, but I don't see any pictures of a 2016 Nismo in your album.

Stripes are stripes...14 Nismo bro. Sorry...I, sure there are pics of 15 up with stripe remoral. Sorry

Look in the 09 to 2015 nismo conversion thread. There are a few in there.

Stripes are stripes, but the 14 Nismo is nothing like the 16 Nismo in regards to the stripes.

Did the same thing. Just looks cleaner. Nice job

Finally got around to getting the stripes off my 2014

I've kinda wanted to get mine engraved/painted. If the stripes came off, would want to go body color.
