Dashboard airbag delete???

I have a Momo zebrano wood grain steering wheel which eliminates the steering wheel airbag. I would like to convert my pass. side dash airbag into a delete tray.
My question to you all is this: Has anyone done this? Does anyone make a delete tray that would fit the 1st gen dash? Do any other similar trays fit? i.e. - Ek , Eg, or Dc?
Has anyone tried to fit one with luck? (trimming or cutting) or has anyone fabbed one up from fiberglass?
Always been something I have wanted to do. any suggestions would be nice
Thanks
And no... I do not care to hear anything negative removing airbags. You do your thing and Ill do mine

If you want to do it, then disconnect the - terminal on the battery wait 10 minutes and you will be able to access it. I believe that it is just a matter of lifting the flap up after that to access the airbag.

Yeah I already figured out the correct way to access and remove it... I dont want to have an empty hole in the dash..
This is a reference picture of an airbag delete tray from an Ek...this is what I want to do:


I need to find an Ek, Eg, or Dc airbag to hold up to mine for reference. Im thinking I can make it work somehow

Get the measurements because that tray looks like it may fit.

you ca actually take the top cover portion of the air bag off and pop it into place on the dash.

I had a tray about that depth in the Accord and trust me, nothing stays. You'd have to line it with a non-slip mat. I had a pen my cigarettes go flying on turns, haha.

~Cheers~

P.S. I don't like airbags, either.

well if yur good with diy's you can try and get a piece of plexi, heat in an oven for 10 min. but yur gonna need a form in the shape u want to lay the plexi over after u remove it from the oven. let it cool and use a dremel to cut off the excess and smooth the edges. i've seen projector housings done this way and i know it would be easier to da a simple tray. like i said your gonna need a form first. thats acutually a good way (if you already have a tray) to make more and $ell them.
