HAs anyone bought this kit?

Unlimited Performance Racing Products On-Line - 1994-2004 Mustang Steering Wheel Air Bag Delete


It lists the color as black, but does that mean it matches the 94-98 Midnight black color...or the 99-04 Dark Charcoal color??

I need to know so i can buy a wheel that matches it.


Before anyone asks, this is going into my 5.0 Mustang which is not an airbag car...hence the need for the delete

Does Ford sell this part? I think i remember reading it was a Ford part that UPR was reselling at higher cost. Does make sense since it does have a FOrd emblem on it.

Kinda sucks it doesn't have a Mustang on it. Can i use the panel from an airbag car?

It's the standard black not the charcoal black like the 00-04 cars have. I had one in my 2000 and it did not match the charcoal but was close enough.

The delete doesn't even have a Mustang on it. It has a Ford oval.

That makes me think it's a Ford part...but what's the part number?

Ok how bout this

Can an airbag cover be reused on a wheel after it's been blown?

In other words can you remove the airbag, wash the crap out of it first, and then attach it to the wheel so it is secure?

Well technically yes you can but you really wouldn't want to because it would look terrible. Airbags are designed to rip the cover open. The steering wheel one splits horizontally through the center and stops short of the sides and since there is no seem there it would look like crap taped back together. The driver side has a seem and it can be taped back together and put back in. My first passenger side airbag delete was from a blown airbag. I just went to a junkyard and cut the outside panels off and taped them together and installed it with velcro. It looked fine for the most part but in hot weather the glue from the tape would melt and it didn't look so good.

Ah wasn't aware that it split. I thought it just flipped up.

Hmm...so i guess i'm stuck with the crappy Ford delete unless i find an airbag and use it in place not hooked up. Seems like a waste since they are a little expensive
