Do a search...anyone with carbon fiber or black emblems on their steering wheels, have the stick on emblem. FWIW, you will never notice it's a stick on.

The steering wheel roundel diameter is 45mm. Contact member Trinity Autosport or Nerweezy, they will be able to sell the steering wheel emblem to you.

I am sure it looks awesome and you can't tell it's a stick on, but how will it look over the dented roundel underneath? Can anyone chime in?

I wonder how the stick-on roundel would affect the airbag in a crash. Would it become a projectile?

It fits fine over a dented emblem. The adhesive will attach to the outer ring of the old emblem. It won't be noticeable. As far as it becoming a projectile, I guess it's possible. But if the airbag goes off, a 1/4 ounce Tin projectile is the least of your worries! Plus I think the Adhesive is strong enough to hold it for a millisecond which would alter the path enough to miss you...at least that's what I'm telling myself.
