The trim piece on my steering wheel is all scratched up and i have another to replace it. Wondering if i absolutely HAVE to go to a dealer to get it done (because of the airbags) or if i can do it myself.

 

Hello Zach, welcome to the forum. Lucky for you, this is a very established forum. There's a DIY for just about anything you want to do to your car. I found this DIY in the sticky section, you should take a look at what's available if you're curious about other mods.

Thanks I needed this as well

 

If you attempt to do this yourself, make sure you have the correct torx bit. Mine were the "Security" torx screws not the regular ones so i had to go buy a set from harbor freight. I then asked my dealer about the trim and they ended up replacing it for free so it might be worth it to check with one.

 

Hey check with your dealer , some dealers are replacing it under warranty , if your warranty is over even by a year they'll do it just tell them that all the infiniti's have the same problem and for a premium vehicle its non-sense to have dash components rub off...
