they are not made plus it is stupid.
the metal letters would become lethal if your airbag goes off maybe killing you or your passanger

Man killed when hits tree. His skull was split by a flying "V" from the metal letters on his airbag cover.
Stick with the plastic ones or the Cyberdyne Graphics letters -

If ANYBODY knows where I can find the STAINLESS letters and line fillers for the fuel rail covers, PLEASE let me know. I saw them at Carlisle last year and when I went to get them, they were sold out. Now I can't find them. I have the acrylic, but they stick out too far and I'd like something closer to chrome. Thanks.

BTW SS Inserts is a forum vendor and they are great folks with which to deal.

Guys the airbag cover doesn't hit you when it goes off. There are tear strips to make it come off at an oblique angle. Its designed to flip away from your face so the air bag fabric takes the impact.
I'm not saying metal letters are a good idea but if it hits you it really isn't your day.

I haven't seen any stainless or chrome letters for the airbags - not sure I would want them on there anyway.

Yes that is true but the force of the airbags can cause the letters to be torn off the cover and into the window, off the clear top or directly into you.

I know. I found lots of places that sell the letters, but I need the 5.7L lines too. That's what's hard to find. Any help out there?

Here's some chrome ones at Ecklers, but looks like they are out of stock right now, do have a lot of other types too.
