Finally warm enough to get my JT Plate from Hauk off-road installed. I dig how well it adds to the interior.

Does look nice, but wish there wasnā€™t an airbag behind it... could be a projectile if airbag deploys.

Agreed. Looks Great but unfortunately that is exactly where the airbag will come out of (splits right down the center)

It looks great, but I really canā€™t believe they sell that given its location. I would buy it as a vinyl sticker though...

I agree too. I bought it but will put it in the garage somewhere.

This makes me feel better about the CMM ball on the grab handle and much worse about anything not vinyl on the dash. From where the markings are, I expected the airbags to deploy up and over the grab handle but this would turn even a plastic plate into something super dangerous.

The plate is plastic.
Did they change it? The description says it's a mix of abs plastic and stainless steel.

Not sure. The one that I have definitely feels and looks plastic. Maybe the etching is what they are referring to.

loved the idea of this and for 2 weeks it looked great. However it detached partially on the top and left the worlds worst residue behind. The dash on my Mojave is somewhat curved and the finish isnā€™t exactly smooth. I cleaned the best I could with alcohol prior to install and than taped the plate down to help it seal. However after a 93 degree day in so cal it lifted and wouldnā€™t retain its adhesion thereafter. I carefully pulled it off but it left the worlds worst residue behind. I tried alcohol and goof off and neither did anything. I just ended up putting a vinyl sticker over it but that looks like hell due to the residue behind it. Definitely not worth the headache it caused. Considered heating the plate to get a curve out of it. But didnā€™t want to make the situation worst so I just moved on. However itā€™s now the worst mod Iā€™d say for my rig. still bitter about it to be honest

I think it looks cool, ol fashioned like the old brass plates. I ordered one had it on for a few weeks then decided to put it on the tool box in garage, not keen on it being right on air bag spot :(

The plate is plastic.
I saw one today at a dealer, they installed as part of an $8000 package. The parts manager confirmed it is metal and they were concerned about liabiity in the event of an airbag deployment. I think it would cut you like a straight razor if it got sent out with the airbag.
