Porsche no longer allows these...at least in aftermarket. I had mine embroidered into my steering wheel (leather of course)

When I upgraded to a 3 spoke wheel the airbag I found had a silver crest. You see black and grey airbags on ebay all the time, beige like mine are lot rarer, and they are often alot less than new. You also see sivler crests for sale regularly, although some concern had been raised as to putting one on an airbag (could it cause a problem if the bag activates?).

You'd probably have to order a new airbag from Sunset Porsche (dealer cost price) or swap with a Boxster S guy. I've seen them on ebay but bidding gets out of control. I bought mine from Suncoast when I upgraded to the three spoke wheel. Good luck.

I painted mine myself using Testors model paint. It has been over a year and it still looks great (to my eye, anyway). In the picture it's looks gray but it looks silver in real life.
