Default em2 steering wheel emblem help

ok this might be a strange question, but does anyone know if it is possible to remove and replace the H emblem on my steering wheel.

yeah i was mad at a g/f and punched the **** out of it and bent it all to hell, and it looks like complete ****.

if anyone has ever replaced this emblem please help.

thanks in advance

U can usually pry them off with a flathead screwdriver. I believe its only held on by glue.

Then u can go to a wrecker and pick up a stock one for cheap... or steathly slide it in ur pocket.

Well said. If he has already beat the **** out of it, he has nothing to loose by mangling it to get it off. Then we'll all know whats up.

ok the deal is i took it off. its held in by these little tabs. 2 on top and bottom and 1 on each side. i actually took the horn fuse out cuz i kept honking it, haha. but i did get it out and now i need to figure out how to get another. as far as i know the red h's for the wheel is a decal off ebay. but if anyone knows where to get a real replacement, or if anyone does make a real metal red one let me know. thanks.
