LOL, true but I'd be standing behind them with a big stick

I used fishing line and a blowdryer to remove my rear "370Z" emblem. It took some time to remove all the adheasive, but its not that difficult. You just need to take your time. I used a clay bar to remove any leftover gunk, polished and a new coat of wax.

If so, go back to your dealership & have them remove it for you.

I always instruct the dealership not to apply any type of dealership sticker to my car or they can cancel the deal...I hate advertising for dealerships unless they pay me

Same here. I instruct them it can either come without a logo, or they can remove it. That's why I was glad the only thing they had was a license plate cover. That was trashed within 15 mins of getting off the lot.

I hate Dealer Logo's..... thats the FIRST thing that came off my Z.

TheGreatOne · 04-06-2011, 04:38 PM

I peeled it off during my first wash, no need for heat

That would be depending on the sticker type.

Take ur time. Rushing is the biggest enemy. Do like 3 letters at a time, take a break.

I had one that was an actual emblem on my car when I bought it. Dealership's name was Kelly Nissan, but the emblem just said Kelly with some fancy lettering. I kept getting people asking me if that was my girlfriend's name

Anyways, when I went to the body shop to get my spoiler installed, I asked the guy to remove it for me. He looked at it for a second and then just straight pulled it off. It came of cleanly, no problems whatsoever.

I made them remove it before I signed papers.

I would have too, but it was snowing, there was a 150 mile drive home, and my dad was getting tired of waiting.

Dealer had to remove it before I would accept delivery and hand over my check to him. I didn't want to screw up the paint. Also, no dealer advertisement plate or plate frame front or back. Deal breakers for me.

when working at Thornhill Nissan in Fort Worth. The guy that was training me used fishing line at a wire saw to cut the foam backing and then goo gone to remove the adhesive.

Vegitto-kun · 04-11-2011, 05:03 AM

there were no dealership decals on my car when I bought it.

we brought the Z and GT-R in for maintenance.

BAM STICKERED.
