I don't let them out license plate frames on my car

Omg I would never have even picked it up if they put one of those on my Z.
It's bad enough they try to use you for free rolling advertisement, but on a Z?

I cry a little when I see that **** on the back of someones else's Z

first thing i do with any car, that emblem goes bye bye

kenchan · 07-31-2013, 05:19 PM

actually i told my dealer NOT to put that dealer emblem on and i remember them telling me they dont put them on the Z and GTR as they had customers that got mad.
but they asked to allow them put the dealer plate frame on, so i agreed to that. and removed it when i got home.

Threading some fishing line underneath also helps, especially in combination with a hair dryer or the plastic bag/water/sun ideas that help loosen the adhesive up.

Kenchan's experience is basically my own. My dealer was nice enough to say they don't do that stuff on the Z. Altima yes. Z no.

I made the dealership do it before I left the lot. It was part of my purchase agreement (it was already on the car). I told them they would have to pay me to keep it on there and advertise for them.

Floss and goo-gone

Update: Fishing line, Turtle wax sticker remover worked great. Re-waxed the area and all is well. I was pissed, when they supposedly brought the car over from another dealership in town, to see that they had stuck that friggin tag on first thing. But, she's gone now.

heat gun/hair dryer and patience
