Trim removal, look at pic

[Exiwolf]

Wondering if anyone knows how to remove the lower steering trim , I have an odd mark/scratch that is driving me crazy and was thinking of either repainting or using wrap on it.
It's the black section in the center of that trim.

The airbag would almost certainly need to come off before you could see how the plastic trim is attached. Not impossible, just takes some care. In my experience doing exactly this trim project on a few steering wheels in the past decades, often times the plastics are not removable, heat welded or glued on. A vinyl wrap is easiest and doesn't require the removal of the wheel from the car (like paint should).

Thanks , that is what I thought, removing airbag should be straight forward done it on other cars. Was hoping it was just clipped in ,may just do a vinyl wrap ...maybe carbon fiber look .

I personally would be leery doing anything on my new truck that might void my warranty such as trying to remove the air bag
