Like it - I'd move it away from the AIRBAG impression, more to the left. But otherwise looks like it should be there on every Stinger!

Thank you. Luckily it can be moved and replaced easily.

In the event of an airbag deployment, an occupant of the passenger seat will find out what it means to have a stinger stuck in thier brain.

Generally, attaching shrapnel to your dash over the airbag is unwise


Today I installed the Tork Motorsports air intakes. Much simpler, easier to install, sounds better (no whoosh at idle but still whooshing under load), and don't chafe the AC condenser line like the K&N unit.

Not in this case. That is not the Stinger emblem located on the rear of the car. Rather this is a thin metal sticker that, as seen on the photos posted, is just slightly thicker than a pieces of paper.

In video of early crash testing (maybe insurance institute?) the air bag actually deploys out from the top horizontal part of the dash and not from the front verticle part where the emblem is. I guess this could have been changed latter, does anyboby actually know? I have installed a thicker badge there that would not be so good for my passenger if the bag has been moved to the front. I was hoping that the embossed air bag lettering there was just to let you know that the car has a right side bag. Can any one confirm this?
