Makes you wonder why they couldn't deisgn it where the roundel itself could be swapped out. Safety reason of some sort with the airbag???

Oh well all i care is it is going to be at no cost to me.
Wow, didn't think that was an option. Mine has the same issue, not necessarily bubbling but it looks crappy and bothers me. Will look into it at the dealer.

That's $25 more than he had to spend.
