way to dig up a dead thread, guys. :thumbsdown:

and horse, some dealerships still put stickers out here in CA

Well, they bloody well shouldn't.

Haha Holy Thread Revival Batman! :icon14:

This is exactly what I requested from Lou when I purchased at Fusz Nissan. When I picked the car up for delivery, it was late and I had forgotten to check. But Lou made a point to bring it to my attention that they indeed ensured no sticker on the car.

I think any sales team should recognize that this is an enthusiast's car, and small details such as this are important.

Even after taking delivery, I would return to the dealership and request it removed. I would not try it myself.

Put a Nismo sticker or something to cover it up. I know it doesn't fix the problem but you might be surprised how well it would work =).

Thanks for the advice, PulpZ. Dealer put one on and I didn't notice until I got home. I'm going to put the dealer advertisement rear license plate holder back on and then ask them politely to remove their cheesy emblem...which by the way, fades to a sickly looking white color after a couple of years.

I have taken off several dealer emblems off my new cars with WD40- it loosens the glue w/o damage to paint. This time around I told em just don't stick one on my Z to avoid the hassle

Put a different emblem on in its spot

The same thing happened to the original owner of my car when he had the shop who tinted his car removed his dealer emblem. He took it to the delearship and they warrantied it. He demanded a new bumper and not just a repaint and they granted his request

so they just sanded down the original bumper and repainted it. :tup:

yah, depending on the adhesive i would even encourage freezing the adhesive and shearing it off using fish line. just use compressed air duster up-side-down.

Use touchup paint and do as best as possible. Believe me you are the only one thats gonna notice it. If anyone ask you what happened tell them it came from doing 180 miles per hour and the paint blew off.:icon18:
