steering wheel emblem removal?
 
i just ordered my custom badges, and i am wanting to replace the Z on the steering wheel with my custom made one. i have read before that this is a major pain in the a$$ to do. are there any tips to getting this done without these 3 horrible possibilities?

ruining the front of the steering wheel
ruining the emblem
possibly triggering the airbag

any help is appreciated!

What emblem did you get that could possibly be better then a "Z"?

my MC Customs logo, just the MC, in gunmetal grey. if someone who rides with me or looks at my car and doesn't know it's a Z, they should never ride in it anyways duh ;-) i'm kinda doing like a "strut" package type thing as far as the logos.

it's just like changing anything else out on your car. you changed your rims, why would you do that?

Because they were much lighter then the stock rims which added performance, they are legit Advans & look much more aggresive then the stockers.

yeah well, you like your rims better than z rims, i want my logo on the steering wheel. the z itself makes us happy, whatever we do to it, it's still a z

Sounds like an awesome idea man, but i have no idea how to take it off. But for resale value, the more you customize the less you will get. But sometimes people on this forum can be trolls, lol

It's going to be a pain as you'll have to take the cover off the wheel. The "Z" is stuck to it, I was thinking of having it wrapped in carbon when I had my wheel done. Good luck, in for pics

Hey sorry to resurrect an old thread but did anyone ever figure out how to remove the steering wheel emblem? I tried removing the armor bag assembly and I broke it down as far as I'm comfortable with. I tried heating it up and prying and it looks like it's held in with a post and not glue. Any help?

It's probably both

What I'm saying is I pulled it up and it didn't look like there was any glue. There was however a post or two and I'm just seeing if anyone has actually removed it and if they knees trick to prying it off.
