Acura logo in steering wheel...

Can the 2002 badge on the steeringwheel be put on a 2000 steering wheel?

Looked into it, and I believe you have to change the entire cover on the steering wheel. didn't get a price though....

1 thing to think about is, if your airbag deploy, you could have your Acura logo imprint on your face for a long time. Don't do it. It is not designed for the 99-01 model

Talked to the dealer. It is designed to break down the center. Each piece is secured to the airbag cover. It will not come off.

You'd have to buy the airbag to get that emblem.

its the air bag that hits you, not parts of the steering wheel

mr TL,
I think his point was that if you put it on the current wheel, it could fly off. A nasty risk.

Right on.. It is made to explode at the embossed Acura symbol. And if you have a foreign object on top of the symbol, that becomes a projectile when the airbag deploys. The '02 model probably explodes (deploys) differently

okay get this guys, so if you want the acura logo on the steering wheel cover, YOU HAVE TO GET THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, there is no way around it, and NO that thing will not fly off onto your face, remember they probably thought of that...use your common senses!!!

So just get the new air bag... its only about a grand or so. Screw a body kit. The logo is much hotter.

Well, you could probably sell the old airbag and recoup some of the costs...

Even if you sell your airbag there's no way to get close to what you will pay for a new airbag. I wouldn't spend 25 bucks to have that badge on the wheel. Just my opinion. For a grand I'd get me a body kit
