    Default Changing Emblem In Steering Wheel

    I want to know if anyone here has changed the emblem on the steering wheel. I just got my car and the emblem it has is black, like molded on the steering wheel, I have seen pics of the 1995 models and they bring the nice color one. has any one change this? Do I have to buy a new steering wheel?

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    You have to change steering wheels if you want the colored roundel. DO NOT add any type of emblem as it will become a lethal weapon if airbag deploys.

    Do you know if a model 1995 will fit? or newer? Is it hard to install?

    If you're handy with a paint brush, you could paint it on there. I really wanted an emblem, but not in my forehead, so I pulled the airbag and headed into the house with some Testors model airplane paint.

    if you add an emblem on top of the black one and the airbag goes off, you run the risk of getting dead. highly inadviseable. the airbag deploys the emblem shoots off and into your face.
