This is Reiko... my 2011 Nissan Versa S HB. 6SPD M/T. The only mods so far have been the Canbus HID's installed and the newly installed tint as well. The tint is 5% in the back areas of the car and 20% in the front windows. Windshield stripe is also 20%.

Picture from day after I brought her home 04/24/2011:

Welcome to the forums. I really like the look of white Vs with a good tint job.

Welcome fellow 6-speeder,

Car looks good! Next thing I'd do which I did for mine already is take off the dealer sticker in the back hatch haha. Looks much cleaner without it!

I agree about the dealership sticker. If only they knew it damages the paint.

How do I take it off without taking the paint off?

Honestly I just did it slowly, with patience. I used my nails and started from a corner of each letter, and once I started I just gently peeled the letters off.

Goo Gone gel. Comes in a spray bottle. :thumbsup:

 

[Ikari]

Thanks, I'll pick it up after payday this Friday.

 

[JoshG]

No problem. You'll love the look after you remove it. I started by removing mine and ended up removing all the emblems.

I actually ended up going this route. I used little pressure and peeled it all off followed by a detailed car wash done by myself. The result was fantastic. I couldn't even tell it is there, I'll snap a photo soon.

Sounds good, post pics when you can. :thumbsup:

How easily did your Nissan symbol come off?

I don't know if it's because I had left mine on for over 4 years, but it was a real PITA to remove. I had to hold up a hair dryer to it, while my dad tried to remove it. Took us about a half hour to get the badge off. The Goo left behind was also a real pain to come out! It does look much cleaner w/out any badging on the rear.

Did you remove the emblems? Any pics? I think he's talking about his dealership sticker.

Ah that would make sense, stickers can just be peeled off. I'm glad the dealer didn't put any dealership info on my car, besides the plate frames which I removed!

I had already removed SL last year, then recently removed "Versa" and the "Nissan" symbol. Now she has a smooth clean rear. I was going to repaint the emblem black and gem it to match the front, but I'm liking the rear without anything on it better.

Sounds good. Post pics when you can. I removed my Versa emblem when I first got the car and removed the Nissan emblem about a year ago. Love the clean look it gives the car. I like the black front emblem too because it matches my black trim.
