It looks like crap...from the awful red paint to the hacked up airbag cover with the huge out-of-place Toyota badge...no trolling...just commenting on something you posted to a public forum...on the internet...where people comment on things...

Don't remove it, you tried it, some like it some don't (self included), but it might help someone else come up with another idea or variation that someone else might like. And props to ya for touching a project the majority of us dont have the balls to fk with!

Yea I'm gonna have to agree. You had the right idea but horrible (in my opinion) execution. There are Toyota airbag emblems on ebay for like $20 or so. Idk about the size but the tabs look the same at least. The bumper emblem is just dangerous.

Yeah good luck with that one. I'm sure prices will eventually fall but not that dramatically. Still gotta remember that this part is not available in the US and whoever is buying them to bring them here has to deal with the foreign currency exchange rate (dollar is weak compared to Euro and Yen) and shipping.

Cool man. In the end, it's your car. Do what you want with it and don't give a Fack what anyone thinks. No matter what you do, there will always be someone who disagrees and will talk $hit. Thanks for letting us know how to take out the airbag though...now I don't have to pay someone to change mine out.

Check engine light does not come on but the airbag light does. I had to drive to Lowe's to grab a couple items with the airbag out. It's right behind my apartment so it wasn't a big deal.

Pictures taken down due to unwanted negative response. I'm working on an alternative solution and maybe I'll post that up. Waiting on mail though.
