Anyone Know who this or how they did this? I'm thinking Electro Plateing but I don't know if that'll work on Black badges.

Comon man. whats wrong with gold? But As far as buying them.. well U can get the Maxima in gold but the damn SE only comes in Black. that crap doesn't make sence. if where were gonna make some badges black.. why they left that Big A$$ Nissan logo on the front grille crome? should've made that black too like the Camrys. Same thing when they did the 99 SE-L made other badges titanium and left the nissan Logo Crome.. Nissan trying to be cheap again in saveing a little bit where they can..

is it not the same size? See the thing is.. U can get the Gold Maxima Logos here from the dealer, U can get the MAXIMA Name, U can get the NISSAN LOGO, But U can't get the SE IN GOLD its only in Black.. Unless I can find a way to electroplate that thing I'ld be set.

still

you might as well try the hobby shop and ask them if it's poissible. alotta ppl must have wanted their lil' train sets gold plated, or other things u kno?? i think it's worth a try. eh if u like gold.. then go gold. and don't forget your front nissan badge too. and see if u can change the chrome trimming and make it gold too. it'll look all 24k balla balla styles... post pix if u can do all that it'll prob turn out good considering your car is a dark green color. might match. like jade.
