I used a metallic silver paint pen and carefully painted inside the airbag letters. They came out great, and no worries about letters not sticking, or sticking in your forehead, whatever the case may be...
I cleaned the surface with 90% Ispropyl Alcohol, let dry, then carefully painted the bottom surface of the letters. Any paint on the side surfaces was immediately cleaned off with a cotton swab moistened in alcohol.
Give it a try!

Search this forum using "cyberdine graphics" and you'll find some good and bad experiences with them. I've had no problem with them.

I think I will try Decal Specialties since it got a good review from LarryW
):Cyberdine (raised, 3D) airbag letters (brushed aluminum)
Decal Specialties (flat, vinyl) airbag letters (brushed aluminum)
You notice with the Cyberdine decals, the TT is already peeling away. This was the next day after application. Shortly after that, the E's starting to peel followed by the V...
Now if Alex could resolve the adhesive issue, then hands down, his are the best looking especially with the domed appearance; they do a GREAT job of filling in the embossed letters on the airbag. But they're useless if they don't stay put (but you could always use super glue 
).No issues with the Decal Specialties decals

I installed the LT Oak airbag and steering wheel decals from Cyberdine about a year ago. I initially had problems with the airbag letters not sticking, even with what I thought was a correct prep. Anyway, someone suggested I use wallpaper seam glue and, believe it or not, it worked great. I used "stick-ease wallcovering seam repair" (comes in small tube) from ACE Hardware. As yet. I've had no sign of peeling and I didn't have to "superglue" it. By the way, Cyberdine's Lt Oak matches just fine in my 04.

get the passenger airbag kit as well , it is raised material enough to make the lettering flush with the dash .
By no means cheap vinyl , went that route myself and tore it out real quick .
side note , the steering wheel emblem Cyberdine sells , sticks nicely to the wheel , and looks awesome , however , the air bag kit , looks great but I had to carefully lay a small bead of superglue to make the letters hold . but no problem after that .
you can look at my signature picture , you may be able to see both .

I bought my 3D raised, polyurethane, laser cut lettering kit (not the acrylic decal lettering kit) from Ecklers over four years ago. And, they still hold, and, look sharp. Nice little interior mod.

Just wanted to give the big to the Cyberdine Graphics logo package. Expensive at $84 for the Steering Wheel, Dash and sill plates, but oh so worth it. Looks much better than the stickers that I had bought previously ever could. I will try and get some pictures tomorrow, but I highly reccomend these. Terrific quality.
Now if only they will stick to the dash. We'll see.
