Anyone replace their airbag cover (From Elvin)
CL,
Has anyone replaced their airbag cover? I am getting a new one from Elvin, see images. I wondered how difficult is to remove the explosive device from the airbag itself!
I have already swapped my steering wheel now it is the airbag turn. Mods never end!!
Thanks all for your help.

The thing that makes those explode are the airbag sensors behind the front bumper right? As long as those sensors are not smashed, airbags shouldn't blow up. I could be wrong though.

What did Elvin charge? He told me $450 for the whole airbag and wouldn't sell me the cover only.
I took my chances and ordered from here for $224 shipped to my door:

Leon Carbon fiber had a sale for $200 earlier this year but they wanted to charge me $250 when I asked recently.

but I think the rest just make the cover without the airbag itself. I think Elvin orders the OEM airbag with the cover and I think this why the cost is higher!
I could be wrong though. So double check it.

Just a word of caution. The the OEM cover is designed to crack open when the airbag deploys. Cracking open quicky allows the airbag to inflate.
The aftermarket cover with its synthetic covering over the plastic shell is NOT PROVEN to not delay or impact the inflation of the airbag due to extra covering.
