DIY How to put on the JDM steering wheel badge

Nice video bro! Your emblem looks great. Did you get it from GRFXP? I got mine from there twice and it had a little chip at the bottom both times I bought it. Yours looks perfect though.
 
While some may laugh at the vid, a bunch of users have tried pulling their stock steering wheel H off & breaking it. They didn't realize it could just be placed over the stock emblem.

I did that, but I did research ahead of time and chose the replacement rather than using it as an overlay. I didn't know that the pieces holding the emblem could break off behind the airbag cover and fall in.

I was just kidding anyway because the nature of the entire thing is pretty funny. How to put on a sticker essentially. It's still helpful video, but funny at the same time that a sticker could be so complicated.

steering wheel badge - yes they are the same size as the 8th gen. The exterior emblems are not the same as the 8th gen.

Well done on the vid. Level 1 mod that will surely inspire many new/beginner modders to work on their car and others to do fyi/dyi for the forum no matter how simple it is!

Ya, agree.....we all have to start somewhere. I remember when I put on my EZ Lip.....I took lots of pics and was feeling good about it. I appreciate anyone who takes the time and energy to try to help other members.

They might shoot out at your face during a car accident. Not sure if that would hurt or not given they are soft plastic.

I got my pieces out by removing the airbag (easy) and then shaking it around in the air trying to get the pieces to fall out. A couple would not budge so I used a utility knife to cut a slit in the bottom plastic of the airbag (not visible when installed) and then pulled that plastic apart a little bit and shook the unit again. Eventually I got all of the pieces out but there is a permanent scar on the front of my airbag cover from when the tool I was using to initially remove the badge slipped and scraped the cover. The scratch is less prominent now at least since it has had time to wear down.
