There's a bunch of threads on this- the pros & cons of doing it as well as the techiques used. Basically most people use fish line or dental floss and plenty of either WD40 or in my case Goo Gone (NOT to be confused with GOOF OFF which will take of your paint!) to remove the adhesive. I myself used a soft plastic putty knife to do the deed with no paint scratches at all. Really like the look with just the Infiniti logo on the ***.

So does this mean the lights are working again? If so, what did you do?

Debadge the G!!! I am a full supporter of this mod. It looks friggin clean as heck when it's done. Grab some good polish and wax to go over the area when you're done so you don't see the outline of it when you're done. The longer you hold off the worse it will look when you go through with it because of the sun fading the paint around the area the badging covers. So the sooner the better and give it some good treatment afterwards and it looks PIMP!!!

Jon... (thinks thats ur name) lol.... funny but ughhhh the LEFT side dome light does NOT work however RIGHT side seems to be perfectly fine lol.... i have a really werid car im starting to think its been in a flood or something got some major electrical problems but the cars gotta clear title so i dont know


but Jon... i know how to quickly resolve the dome light not working... check the fuse box by the pedals... pop each fuse out check it... if its good put it back in.. if not replace it lol.... lift the battery cover under the hood... couple fuses there... then take off that panel where your vipers/widshield area is... on the right side directly behind the battery hole.... bunch more fuses there (its likely to be here!!) if not then take it to good ole GRUBBS
