Looks great, I'm well pleased with this simple modAlthough I remember a few years ago when I mentioned doing this on the "Other" site, people told me not to do it because if the air bag goes off you will have hard plastic flying off at a silly speed towards your head! That is why the OEM part is soft/plyable I would guess?.......Just be aware that's all I'm saying.
Oh yeah that is one lovely motor......

Cous3 DoneThat was mentioned again when this idea was brought up again by P.Lindblom but I'm still pretty sure that the logo will have nothing to do with the airbag - there should be a predetermined way that the cover will split when the airbag deploys and that should really go around the logo rather than through it.

I haven't seen a pic of a car with the airbags gone off but that must be the case..........
Plus the newer cars have a solid logo so it can't be an issue.......

Just a quick pic (that looks like the other steering wheels with this mod but this is my one.....lol): Like the others needed a little bit filed off the edge, fixed to the steering wheel with double sided trim tape. Goes very well with the chrome gear knob/chrome A/C rings/clock face.
