Steering wheel emblem replaceable?

[Phreaxer]

I dented the mustang emblem in the center of my steering wheel the other day and I was wondering if it were possible to replace just the emblem and not have to replace the entire airbag. Thanks in advance for your help.

Take it to the dealer. Tell them it caved in.

the car is out of warranty already (mileage) and it's not caved in, there are two small dents/dimples in it.

i'm not sure why it is exactly, but from
what i've read, when you want to replace
the emblem, the whole unit gets replaced.

usually it's from the cheap a$$ emblem starting
to pit, that warrants the exchange

thats what i was afraid of. [:@]what a joke. the dealer quoted me ~$800 for a $2 emblem. bummer.

Yup, you have to replace the whole airbag is why. It's definitely not the best design there ...

I think because the airbag itself deploys through the emblem is the reason for the entire airbag needing replacement when the emblem goes bad. Function dictates style concessions in this case IMO.

You have to replace the airbag[:@]

I wonder how much it would be to buy a GT500 steering wheel instead...they look really nice and meaty - like my Dad's old M5's.
