Check this video out. Go to the end to see how the crest did damage when he did a test on the airbag.

They make some 3d stickers that are alot safer on eBay.

Thanks, but would the factory crest on the other wheels not do the same thing? At least what I have heard that the cover swings upward is true??

Lmao. I did the same. I bought a three spoke wheel instead that has the crest last week.

Thought that would be a safer plan.

My high school French is beyond weak, but that video was a hoot. Isn't metal bits exploding in your face what got Takata in trouble?

Makes me wonder if we all need to deactivate these airbags or replace.

If these go off at the wrong time with that force you are toast!
