Air Bag Deployment,

Hey I know someone on here must have wrecked a saturn before,

My question is: How does the drivers side air bag deploy, does the cover over it split verically down the inset line, or does the cover pop up/down (I think it pops down...)?

I saw a totaled one just a few days ago, but can't remember,
I have a spare Saturn Badge (from the wrecked Saturn) that I was going to hang on my wall, but my brother just suggested that I cover my painted insignia on the Steering Wheel (normally inset, but I painted it), Just went and sized it, it looks good, but not good enough to risk it being pounded into my face...

If anyone can remember, I Thank You,

I guess thats to have the Saturn Badge embedded in my head,
:icon16: :owned:

Like ((+))? Best example I could come up with, without photos

I think I will mount it despite the risk, and to minimize the risk, I'll adhere it by the corners, one corner heavy, that way I hope it will pop to one side,

Didn't glue it down, but it has a small plastic piece stickin off the back of it, so I poked a small hole in the inset emblem on the wheel and stuck it on there
