Silver Airbag Trim Removable?
I was looking at mine closely and just for the heck of it I put my finger nail into the side of it and I was able to pry it out a little so I used a tiny trim tool and it came out much more, to where I could get the tool totally under it. The trim did not pop out all around though so I stopped in fear I would damage it but the same trim is Black in the T so maybe it is replaceable?

I just found out that the silver trim is not a separate part and is part of the airbag - anyone interested in buying my as new airbag from my 2019 Targa GTS? I am sure they fit many models/years.

The airbag trim is silver on the T also

Too many shined things period, especially for drop tops and targas. On a sunny day it’s totally annoying, even with my sunroof open. I blacked out the dash trim with leather but there are still those shiny things that catch the sun.

I am in for a black wheel ring if u figure it out Bob. Hopefully they can make the piece with 3M tape so it just sticks on

I'd be fine with using the same black finish as the gauge trim is, which is a kind of a satin black.

I just remembered where I saw the black trim ring on the steering wheel, in the 992! When the 992 parts become available I will try and find out if that airbag can be used in the 991.2 as well.

Damn, I had it all wrong. Anyway, as one can now see the 992 will have the Black trim ring. I actually like the 992 steering and if the non-Multifunctional one can be fitted to the 991.2 I may swap it out. I also noticed that the 992 has right knee (driver) and left knee (passenger) pads and if I can fit them to my car I can remove my make-shift knee pad. But I still do not like the 992 overall so let's not turn this into a 992-related thread.
