You can ask KillaKam. He is the one that started the thread,

" Would anybody be interested for a group buy from Stillen"

I actually ordered mine off of ebay and my red S is actually the S that the toyota corollas use (that took some time and a lot of money to find and buy) but i dont have the chrome SV letters anymore.... Turns out that the seller on ebay lied and they were really just plastic.

Check out my CARDOMAIN page and let me know if your looking for something like what i have.

Well if its the plastic chrome that i got i would say that its a bad idea... although i will agree that mine was probably bad quality. Mine actually started to tarnish because of moisture from the snow and rain. I ended up taking them off... I'll put the SV- When i find a good quality pair.

I have no clue y nissan didnt just put this on the car in the first place

I looked all over, can find anything. Any way, I found "S Type" which can stand for "Sport" its not specific.

I couldn't find any SV-S anywhere so I just put the SE-R from the altima. I will rebadge once i find a good quality SV-S as well. I know its not an SE-R but for now I feel special.

There are no SV-S Badges/Stickers anywhere right now, about all you can do is go to a Cadillac Dealer and get their STS Badge/Sticker and then remove the "T" and find the "V" from Nissan's Spec-V and replace them accordingly.

Yeah, I know it sounds like some crazy fabrication but it could work, plus the lettering isn't plastic, it is real chrome.

re-badging for SV

I for one, don't really get this trend towards de-badging, unless the original emblems are badly done. I also cannot for the life of me figure out why the 7th Gen Maxima dispensed with the engine size and model emblem (i.e. 3.5 SV). Personally, I hate the MAXIMA text, both the font and location. I removed that (2010 SV), but bought some very classy 3/4" chrome block letters online and spaced them out under the license plate, in a manner similar to how Infiniti has done it over the years. I'm very pleased with that. But then it started to bug me that I spent a lot of extra dough to by a fully loaded Maxima (although not the Sport pkg) and have it look, at a glance, like a bargain basement Max with cloth seats and no option! Some research on ebay showed me that the 6th gen had the engine and model emblem -- but not the 7th gen. I figured I'd have to do my 3.5 SV emblem with more custom letters -- until I discovered that for the new 2013 Altima redesign, there is, you guessed it, a "3.5 SV" emblem! Of course, when I went looking on Ebay, All I could find at this particular time was a 2.5 SV and a 3.5 SE. Being impatient, I bought both and will put together what I want. I'm sure in a few months, after the the 2013 Altima is out for a while, there will be plenty of 3.5 SV's for anybody that wants one. The "S" is pretty common, so getting an extra one for those with the SV-S will be able to achieve that too. If anybody cares to see how my trunk turns out, let me know. I continue to wonder why Nissan badges all of their models (S, SE, SV, etc.) but not the Maxima???

Did you really just bump a 3 year old thread with a reply that has nothing to do with the OP?

I don't think I was off topic at all, and so what if the thread is old?

Guys, I don't think my post was the one referred to for "bumping a three year old thread." Look at the quote specified in the bottom, somebody else made some lame comment and I think it was deleted. But it did leave the impression that my post and comments were the culprit. I don't see how my comment was at all off-topic. Sometimes a good solution to a question doesn't happen for a year or more.

So all that said, I did get my 2013 Altima badges -- one was 2.5 SV and the other was 3.5 SL. I took half of each, and now my '10 Max has 3.5 SV. Knowing what I know now, it would have surely been easier and probably cheaper to go to the Nissan dealer parts dept. and simply order the 3.5 SV Emblem from them. But I was going with what was available on ebay at that moment. I think it looks great, and I'm still mystified why Nissan would emblem the Altima but not the Maxima (when they did so for previous gens).
