I took this emblem off of a blown airbag when I was replacing mine. I basically has 2 or 3 holes along the line where it says "nissan". I'm not so sure taking that off is a great idea, though, considering there is an airbag underneath it.

Is that means, that if i took of the emblem, the airbag will be affected ?

As far as I know, at least in Acura TL, the airbag deploys through that small circle in the middle.

The same is true for the Versa (and other Nissan models as well). The emblem actually conceals the perforations that allow the wheel cover to split in half. Removing the emblem may not make the airbag any more dangerous than it already is, but you'll never be able to hide the creases and perforations in the rubberized cover. Anything you place OVER where the emblem is, will infact make the airbag more dangerous in one of two ways; 1) The Honda logo you glue onto the airbag cover may inhibit the airbag cover from properly separating at the seams, delaying or preventing airbag deployment. 2) The Honda logo can fly off and become lodged in one of your eye sockets, mouth, or forehead.

and 3) The airbag fails to deploy, you slam your head into the steering wheel, and you now have a permanent "H" embedded into your forehead.

I can tell you from replacing a blown airbag in the versa that when it deploys, it opens up the whole front of that part. I wouldn't take the emblem off or put anything on top of it. If you take it off, you'll still have the nissan logo indentation and holes. If you put something over it, you'll have a projectile to hit you in the face if it goes off.

Also, who wants an H embedded in their forehead?

why remove it? if you are going for the custom look, get an after market wheel without a logo on it .
