Does anyone make a Steering wheel airbag cap



Does anyone make a replacement for this part? it is a piece of tin that covers the center of the airbag, Since you cant buy just the cap, the only option is to buy a new airbag for 500 bucks. ouch!

You might as well be asking.."Does anyone want to get sued for everything they are worth/" Haa. I think one would be risking it to be messin with selling aftermarket airbag parts, even the cover.

You could try the badge part for a 2nd Gen valve cover. It has the same contour as the air bag cover, is raised and looks oem.

Not sure of the size though as I would have to measure to compare but should be about right.

Ill look into that 2nd gen cover, I didnt think about the sue thing, I guarantee another cover isnt going to stop that airbag from going off! Im afraid Ill have to make something.

Don't bother. I just compared one over a steering wheel of an 04. It would look awesome, unfortunately it's just too big.

There may be some domed decals out there, but quality may not look OEM.
