Protechparts.eu sells the entire airbag cover with the Turbonite badge. Could you share your experience of replacing this cover? I can't find information anywhere on how to do this in a Porsche airbag. Thanks on advance for your help.

Not too difficult. Plenty of videos that show how to remove the airbag. After removing the (4) bolts, carefully separate the back cover from the airbag using a small pry bar. Then peel the front cover off the airbag. Repeat in reverse to assemble, taking careful note of the front cover orientation.

Here is what I designed. Now need to find someone who can engrave one for me. It's actually two pieces of steel / aluminumm with one being the same paint color as Ruby Star Neo

Very cool idea. I’m sure an online or local trophy shop could pull this off. Something like this:

it's going to end with a new airback and teeth.

Has anyone bought leather parts (like visors, center console) from Exclusive Options in California? They look beautiful

I know there are a few threads that have em and people swear by their quality. I'm actually going to get my visors wrapped and maybe do some perforated leather in select areas of the car once it comes in.

Thank you for the information. I know how to remove the airbag because I have done it many times, but I have never disassembled the airbag to replace its cover, hence my fear of damaging something. From your description it looks relatively easy. Do you know what the tightening torques are for these 4 bolts?

DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT AT LEAST 25 MINUTES, ALLOWING CAPACITORS TO DISCHARGE, BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY WORK ON AIR BAGS.

A signal that all systems are asleep is when the puddle lights in the doors go off. This takes about 15-20 minutes.

Yes. My order for a bunch of parts is in. 3-4 weeks for custom manufacturing. I've seen there work, and it's outstanding.

I've tried over a dozen and they all say they can't do that. Font too think for engraving, and they don't do something that large... I've decided that it needs to be a laser engraving place so now I'm searching for one of them who can do this...

These look fantastic. I checked their website and couldn't find any for 992 C2S standard bumpers. Can I ask for a link so I can get to right page?

I didn’t bother with torquing them as all they do is secure the rear cover to the airbag. I was more concerned about clearance depth so I measured how far down the nuts were on the bolts and made sure they were tight and at the old depth. Haven’t had an issue so far… including needing a new airbag or teeth LOL!

Do NOT under ANY circumstance leave the battery connected when working with airbags.

Could not copy the link for whatever reason, but this is the item # for the standard bumper with camera cut out.


Now I got it:
