Yup. I'm with JARblue and big daddy.

The emblem removal was probably one of the most painstaking mods. More time consuming than my Ark Grip with just two jack stands in my garage, but once I started, I knew there was no looking back. I took my time with a few breaks and a lot of patience.

The emblems themselves came off rather easy after a few hours in the Texas sun. The grey leftover adhesive took at least an hour more for EACH badge, front and rear. I used the max strength goo-gone carefully to only remove the glue while being careful with the paint that would still be exposed (on top and bottom of the original NISSAN logo) with the new emblem. I dabbed a soaked paper towel with the goo-gone onto the grey leftover adhesive and slowly used both my fingertips and a small, sharp, plastic trim removal tool to work it off.

Lots of paper towels, three blisters on the tips of my fingers, a drenched tshirt from lots of elbow grease and working under the Texas sun, I'm finally happy with the results.

On my way to the track I encountered a Lotus all made up with numbers etc., so we rolled down the passenger side window to talk to the driver and he would have nothing to do with us. Fine.

I later saw him at the track and asked him if he had seen us. He said yes but thought I wanted to race him on the freeway like all those other idiots. To me this is funny.
