Can anyone give me a walkthrough of how the cover comes off? Or will I have to remove the whole wheel, if someone can tell me it'd be nice pls!!



PS. as soon as I can get the cover off and modded the way I need it you'll all be blown away!!

well for 1 its an air bag and if you try to take it off the thing could go off. The first thing you need to do is disable the air bag ither by taking off the Neg on the battery or by taking out the Fuse for it its diffrent on every car. But if it goes off better not be standing by it.

I've been working on cars for awhile I already got the passenger side airbag out along ttime ago and I know you need to unhook the battery, and I also pulled the fuse for extra safety.

if your warrant and that crap is gone, hell tear that ***** apart if you have to. Sorry if i sounded negative to you, I was just hoping you weren't doing something that might hurt you later. But damn that looks freakin awesome. once you get that ***** finished, it will look sweet. Very nice mod and way to be original too. bravo!

looks good.
but you better make sure that your insurance company doesnt find out, or else you can tell them. airbags factor in to the policy coverage and price.

Imagine having all that plastic slam into your chest at high speeds. Looks nice, but food for thought.

Maybe you should keep the air bag cover to slip over the screen. It may keep you from getting robbed, ticketed or uninsured.

Looks good btw.

p.s. I would think about a steering wheel cover upgrade. I installed a Wheelskin last night and it came out great.
