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.

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

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.

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.

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

JMZ · 08-15-2016, 12:36 PM

Did the same thing. Just looks cleaner. Nice job

Spstone · 08-21-2016, 06:39 PM

Finally got around to getting the stripes off my 2014

Uxi · 08-30-2016, 03:29 PM

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