Steering Wheel Emblem

[cgreene]

Has anyone removed the emblem from their steering wheel? I want to change the emblem from a gold one to a silver one. I have already done that for the hood emblem. I have also changed the "Cayenne" lettering on the rear deck from black to silver - it looks much better. I'll post pictures once I get this all finished.

Thanks,

Chris

Just did this on a friends 996 airbag, haven't attempted my Cayenne yet.

I just put the silver crest over the gold, looks good to me

Hi

What did you use to remove the rear badge? Where did you buy the silver replacement from?

Cheers

Silver replacement came from ebay.

This info is for the 996 airbag removal, the same would apply to the Cayenne

There are two hex screws that hold the airbag in place, you can see them

behind the wheel. Unplug the two plugs using a flat screwdriver for one, and pull of the other. Be sure to leave the ignition off while unplugging the airbag, otherwise it will turn the airbag light on. After you

have the airbag out you will notice that its surround by a black plastic

housing, simply release all the black tabs and the airbag itself comes right out. You can then see the back of the gold crest. There is a small metal tab that holds the washer in place, I used a dremel to shave it off, once its

off the gold crest pops right out and then you just attach the new crest in

its place with the double sided tape I provide. Put it all back together the same way and your done.
