Airbag recall done but old emblem?

Hey all, so had my airbag recall done for drivers and passenger airbag on my e70, but I noticed it's the same old steering emblem. Isn't the drivers airbag one piece cover, airbag and emblem? Or are they just replacing the airbag unit and putting the old cover back on?

I think they're just replacing the igniter piece, at least that's what mine said.

Mine says they replaced the gas generator for the air bag. I have the original emblem.

Last year when I had the recall done, I asked about replacing the emblem. $325.

Did you do it and get a spare "just in case"???

I didn't even know there was more than one kind of emblem, or what the new one is.

I inquired because the emblem was showing wear. Presumably, that's why other people would ask, too. There's no way on G-d's green earth I would've spent even close to that for a crappy piece or plastic.
