I finally got my hands on an 86 airbag. I should have never bothered with the metal Toyota emblem sticker. It is impossible to get it centered perfectly (they should come with a template) and it just does not look OEM quality.

I bought the airbag used from an eBay vendor in the UK. I had a difficult time finding someplace that would ship me one. The trick to getting an airbag shipped overseas is to have the vendor remove the explosive device before shipping.

I swapped the explosive device from my FR-S airbag to the 86 airbag cover. It just unscrewed. The process was actually much simpler than I thought it was going to be.
