CA Debadge?

ok, so this is not your typical debadging, i know most of you will think that i need to SEARCH... but i already have debadged the 8 already, at least the outside....

but my question is, is it possible to remove the mazda emblem on the steering wheel? i tried removing it with an xacto knife but did not work, almost broke the blade...

anyways, i havent seen it done yet but has anyone actually done it? if so how?

Just be careful not to stab into SRS territory.

Or try making up a faceplate/cover for the whole "O" around it. A piano black circular cover would be hot.

I really want to help, but my car's in the shop. I'm PRETTY sure it's glued on, as there would be no way to stitch it in.

Well. "cleaner" maybe. But only if you put some other stuff on. Otherwise I think it looks kinda weird. The emblems balance it.

I would start by disconnecting the steering wheel. Try and avoid an accident

If you can take the steering wheel apart, do that and see what is holding it in.
