Can Plastic Air Bag Cover be Replaced?Not the Complete Air Bag
"Can Just the Air Bag Cover be Replaced" on a 3 Spoke Steering Wheel?Not the whole Air Bag, but just the Plastic cover?I have a Grey one and I want it Black.I know I can dye it Black but would rather replace it,if it can be done.The Air Bag is already removed and the cover looks like it just unclips.Is this cover keeping the Air Bag from deploying?Has anyone ever done this and does Porsche ,just sell the cover?Is it going to explode if I try to remove the Plastic Cover.Probably a real stupid question but I had to ask?Never seen a Porsche one deployed before.
Any help appreciated

Does the 996 airbag cover fold upwards when it deploys? E.g is the cover itself intact after it deploys? If it's not designed to split in the middle, then it would be safe for the OP to recover it in leather for example or in the material of your liking... Just a thought.

They blow through the middle, if you cover it in leather you would need to have a weaken seam like the Porsche leather ones do

You could remove the 4 nuts that hold that frame on, but I would just cut the plastic section off the old cover, the new one will then push under that frame section and clip in
