Default Another question about lettering

I tried the decals for the "CORVETTE" on the passenger side airbag. I was less than pleased with the results.
Does anyone make a more substancial appliqué for this area?

Thanks,

I used the Cyberdine product for the steering wheel logo, very nice. If you haven't checked them out do so.

it's been discussed at length before, anything attached to an air bag module has the potential to become a projectile upon deployment. anything more substantial than vinyl might inflict grievous wounds

I had the vinyl letters on the airbag of my recently sold car. They were installed back in 2001 and they help in place extremely well over the approximately 7 years they were on there - absolutely no peeling.

I really cleaned the area first and ensured that I carefully placed the letters on the airbag surface and then used a q-tip to press it down in place.

Maybe I got lucky with my set of vinyl letters but they worked well for me.

Cyberdine is about the only vendor that I know of that has something other than the vinyl.
