2k2 steering wheel emblem

i really luv that chrom nissan logo on the 2k2 maxima on the steering wheel. Is there anyway to get that for our 2k1's? That would be so awesome.

yep it would be awesome to get that chrome logo, but don't know what to tell ya.. i don't think it can be ripped off or u just replace the entire wheel which isnt exactly a cost-saving idea..

Call a parts counter...

pick one up...they must have them available in case of damaged vehicles. Take it home, compare to your wheel, then you'll know. If doesn't work, just return it.

This is what I intended to do if I couldn't find anyone who had tried...I just haven't had time.

i found out something pretty interesting to solve this problem
my friend gave me a pathfinder emblem a couple weeks ago and to my surprise, it is a perfect fit with the black nissan logo on the 2k and 2k1's steering wheel.....
i m planning on glueing it on soon....

yeah that one is def too big. But lets say we find a smaller one. What happens when the airbag gets deployed, will it leave an impring of the nissan logo on ur forehead?

Priorities when the arbag deploys...

If my airbag goes off, the last thing on my mind will NOT be the Nissan logo going through my forehead, but the fact that I just got in an accident

However, this is me being hypothetical because 1) I don't get into car accidents and C) I can't mentally react in a matter of nanoseconds, so I probably won't be able to process organized thoughts while my airbag is deploying

I hate the chrome emblem on my 2k2. It just reflects the sunlight right into your eyes (my eyes, actually). Sux, but looks cool.

Um, maybe not, but other people do. You might end up being the helpless victim. Try not to jinx yourself.

I wanted to find out if you ever glued on the Pathfinder steering wheel emblem to your Max? I am planning on trying to add an emblem to my steering wheel. So if you have tried the Pathfinde emblem, and it worked, I would like to know. Also, any hints for an easy installment? Does it look natural/stock? Thanks.

Mod done. Looks nice. Cost: cheap.

Welp, I used A33's info about the Pathfinder emblem fitting and went to the parts dept. Asked the guy there to let me take one out to my car and check it. Sure enough, it fit. So, I purchased it. Took it home, cut the prongs in the back off, and used the strong adhesive, also on the back, to put it on. It looks great. You really cannot tell that it did not come stock unless you look hard. And I am sure it is easier for me to tell since I put it on there. It does not look like a cheap after thought IMO. Looks natural.

One thing I would mention if you are going to do this. Make sure that you take some wire cutters and really dig out all the plastic left behind from cutting off the two prongs in the back. It is worth taking the extra 15min to do this. Other than that, it is really straight forward. I used the stock adhesive because if I decide I don't like it, it will come off with some prying and my steering wheel will not be all jacked up. If I have problems with it staying there in the future, I can use stronger adhesive.

Mod:
Chrome steering wheel emblem (2000-2001)

Part:
Rear chrome emblem from 2000 Pathfinder

Cost:
$15

Let me know if you have questions.

I meant to put in my post, I don't have a digital camera handy. I am going to try and get a hold of one this weekend. If not, I will try and take regular pics, develop, and post them. I know how it is with wanting to actually see something before starting a project. I will do my best to get some up by next week at least.
