What's the best way to remove the 240sx emblem from the back end? The emblem on my car is a little tarnished and I just want to polish it up.  If I do get it off, how easy is it to get back on?

just take some dental floss and "floss" the emblem, they come off pretty easily.  i would just leave it off, it looks pretty clean without. just get some adhesive remover to take the glue or tape off.  you would have to go buy new double sided tape to get it back on.

i had black factory paint and you coudlnt tell when i took mine off.  you might see a little shadow at first but after a few good wash and waxes you wont be able to see it.

I checked out the emblem today and I think I know what's going on with how to get it off with floss. Just one rectangular piece of double-sided tape, right? A black strip?  Now, what kind of double-sided tape do I use?  Also, would this same technique work on the the Nissan emblems on the rear lights and the hood?
