Default has anyone completed the Cobalt or G6 steering wheels swap?

I searched and only found threads about it, without anyone doing it. Most of them are old threads also. So, has anyone completed this with airbags? If so, details, details, details

this would look great with the old school SS logo, maybe if we can swap it someone (emblempro's or ??? ) could make an SS badge that would fit

emblempros would make a custom emblem that size, but i dont think theyll make you a "steering wheel logo insert" type thing, for liability reasons ('his airbag saved him luckily, but unfortunately the stainless steel bowtie lobotomized him')

also in for updates on this swap, i remember some threads too

maybe the steering wheel logo insert can be salvaged and the logo can come off?

A vinyl overlay would work too and be less like to dig into the face in case of an accident

The center piece can be changed. that is the same steering wheel as the G6, which has a Pontiac logo on it..

So far everything i can figure the airbags should work flawlessly. The horn is the issue im trying to figure out now while i wait on the bag to get here. Im also looking for a cap that deletes the buttons. It exists because if you look at vettes (also the same wheel) there buttons are on the opposite side so theres blank caps for both sides. Problem is finding one which may very well be a pain in the *** lol. Ill post up pics of what i have so far soon
