Can the steering wheel LEXUS logo be replaced (or fixed up)?
My new (to me) 2001 GS 300 is nearly perfect both mechanically and cosmetically.
But one item is getting to me.
The LEXUS logo on the steering wheel is worn, the ‘chrome’ is worn away in the center and the white plastic is showing.
I called the dealer and asked if it could be replaced, and was told “Yes, but it comes attached to an airbag.”
Needless to say, I didn’t ask how much that costs.
Any suggestions?
I’m open to replacing with a new one (if possible) or refinishing some way.
Thanks ahead of time.

yeah, the emblem is attached to the airbag...
maybe try glueing some crystals over the emblem? (i don't know if that's your style...
) it can be a weekend project...
just a suggestion

theres no need to replace it. mine was worn out too so i got a chrome paint market and cleaned it up looks brand new.. just make sure you tape around it so it doesnt get any paint around it.

well before buying a new logo (if avaialble) has anyone even tried to see if the old emblem is removeable without causing damage to the airbag? Next thing you know *pry*pry*BANG!*
If you're into the VIP styling there a steering emblem from Garson that goes over the original emblem.
