Default OOOPS!!! Need Help

Ok guys, as stupid as this sounds...bear with me. I was an hour late for work, sittinin traffic because of these damn texas rubberneckers, i dont exactly remember why, but a state of pissed off overcame me and I left off some steam by punching the center of my steering wheel. It dented the mustang emblem on my brand new car. I know....I should stamp DA on my forehead but does anyone know where I could possibly find a new steering wheel emblem. Ive searched the web for the past hour and twenty and camp seem to find anything. Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks Guys!

ps. to whom it may concern-theSLP LM's sound absolutely sick and anyone interested should buy them

If I'm not mistaken, this is also the air bag console for the driver. Probably have to replace the entire air bag component......

Tell the dealer you were in a panic stop and slammed the horn and they should replace under warranty.

My daughter was asking how the airbag comes out of the wheel and wouldn't it hurt to get hit by that big hunk of plastic. I had to admit I didn't know. But it has me wondering.

The airbag opens by splitting straight down the middle of that secton of the steering wheel, and when it hits the center pony plactic piece it simply splits around the left side. I was checking out a totaled GT at a local dealer. It was messed up.
Oh, you don't have to wreck your car just because of traffic...you should be used to it by now...

Buy a 2005Pony Wheel Center Cap...remove the emblem and use it as a replacement...it should fit perfectly...

Yes this is part of the airbag assembly and I think you have to replace it all and ford should do it under warranty.
