At any rate, if you do decide to debadge, save them, as you may need them again someday.
+1 Makes the back of the car look plain to me with no lettering or the Fuji symbol, but if you leave the symbol or the G37 badging it still looks nice. I can see why people remove it though becasue its a PITA to wash and wax around the lettering.

I did it...

So last night after maybe too much inebriation I dug out the fishing line, WD40 and polish and wax, after 30 minutes my a** end was debadged sans MT Fugi. This morning straight and sober it still looks great, whew!

Quick photo from my iphone, BTW it is still winter here, drab and garage is a little dirty.

My car is provided for me by my employer, that is why there is a logo on the back window, haha.

I'm completely debadged and I hope someone thinks I have an Altima as they will be in for a rude awakening. Personally I like the look, but in the future I';m likely to paint the Fuji emblem gloss black and center it.

I've left the Mt Fuji symbol but took off the rest on my sedans trunk. I can't say I really care if people think my car is something different than what it is. I've debadged everything but the brand logo on every car I've owned except my first. Always a cleaner look imo
