Several forum Leaf owners have done this modification, but I'm not sure it has a thread of its own yet....We'll take care of that!
There is a person on eBay who is selling chrome letters that spell "ELECTRIC". You can use these letters to add to your Leaf and make a bold statement. Perhaps a little easier to understand than Zero Emission....The links are below, he sells two versions, separate letters or pre-spaced on a piece of tape....I bought the separate letters...
I thought about where to put it, and decided on the rear hatch. With the Leaf letters on the left and the Zero emission badge on the right, I thought it would look a little crowded if I added a third thing. So I decided to remove the Zero emission badge and put my ELECTRIC letters there on the right side...The choice is yours....
First, I used a piece of string to remove the zero emission badge by sawing up and down underneath from the right side of the emblem. It came off in about 30 seconds; the adhesive is very thick and pliable. I removed the adhesive residue left behind on the car by picking it off with my fingers first and then lightly swabbing the remaining residue with rubbing alcohol. Then I used some liquid car cleaner and ultimately some wax and elbow grease to ensure that the surface was good and smooth/clean.
Then I ran a piece of blue masking tape from underneath the left side of the rear hatch where the LEAF letters are and carried the tape all the way over to the right side, making sure that it was reasonably level and even. Then I started to apply the ELECTRIC letters one at a time, starting from the right side working backwards and watching the spacing. Be careful of the "I" letter, as it's easy to not leave enough space on either side of it. The letters have a peel-off backing that is easy to remove with your nail.
Once all the letters were in place, I pressed on them for good measure and then gently peeled the masking tape off the rear hatch...
Voila! Now my Leaf is ELECTRIC....
I hope this is of interest to our Leafers.....RedRandy
