How to remove the steering wheel styling cover?

Can some one help me with this. I'm trying to remove it so I can wrap it with the carbon fiber cloth that some people have been doing, besides this cover is pretty scratched up. I tried jamming a couple screw drivers but it doesn't pop out.

Thanks.

I believe you have to remove the airbag first ... use the search on airbag removal

We can finish the item, or almost any item on your ride, interior, exterior, or under the hood, in carbon fiber.

You need to disconnect negative battery, take airbag off, take steering wheel off. I think u need a torx to remove the trim after that. Do not try to pry off as your first step. Good luck.
