Replacement for Acura logo on airbag?
my A logo is scratched and not fully chrome anymore. anyone ever replaced the logo? yes, I realize that tampering with the airbag is dangerous and blah blah blah, but I'm sure its just held in place with mild adhesive.

the only thing that has me is the rivets parts, i probably wont mess with it (maybe I will, but prolly not):
Heres how to install an Acura emblem;
After you remove the airbag from the steering wheel, take the cover off (requires drilling out rivets with 3/16 drill bit).
Next scrape the white stuff off the back of the old emblem. Then push in the new emblem and melt the little white legs on
the back side with a lighter. You will need to buy new pop-rivets to put it back together. -JJ

ummmmm...... there is a reason for it not being available from the dealer iirc, and that is because it probably is attached to the cover BEFORE everything is assembled, so you might have to pull the airbag assembly out, and then unbolt the bag/explosives from the cover, so you can get to the back side of that emblem in order to melt those "tabs" away, and then "melt" the new ones on (basically melt them so the plastic kinda gives, and expands outwards, so it can not pull through the holes easily)

but the wheel doesnt include the airbag. IF i do swap the logo for a new one, it will be at the same time that I'm swapping out my old wheel for a new wood one though

Figured since more often than not we don't see the back side of the airbag cover, I would snap a pic of what this thread is all about. Taking the airbag out is easy. I did not look at how much it takes to remove the cover. Since mine blew up in my face, seeing the back of the cover was easy. ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
