So, unfortunately my PF did not to have the factory blacked-out badges on the rear hatch when I got it. I called around local dealers and the average quote was $300-$500. Some wouldn't even touch it. I opted to go down the DIY route. Badges cost me around $55+tax (ordered online).

Before:

After:

In case anyone is interested in doing this, it's about a one to two hour job (if you take your time). YouTube has a lot of good resources on how to de-badge a vehicle.

Parts/Supplies:
Badges (PATHFINDER+SL) Part Number: T99G8-6TA4B (for SL) - $55
Painters tape - $7
Goo Gone (automotive spray) - $7
Rubber eraser wheel with drill adapter - $12

I started with the SL badge and worked my way up...

Tip - Although the rubber eraser wheel (with a drill) makes quick work of removing the adhesive, make sure you don't stay in the same spot for too long. Also, careful as you work your way to the center of the hatch as there doesn't seem to be a lot of support there. You can feel the metal flex as you apply even slight pressure.

Good luck!

Great job. When my PPF installer told me about removing the badges. I was hesitant. But you give me hope.

Also my question to you is how do you know where to put it on the new ones?

They come with a template already spaced out and ready to apply. I layed down painters tape around the original badges as an additional guide.

I have looked around for the platinum in black badging with no luck only the Sl 4wd and SV are available in the black badge I'm also in the process of doing a full chrome deleted

I think you have to order it with the blacked out badges or luck out in finding a dealer that added it on as a dealer option after delivery.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the delete once finished.
