Default Need a picture of a blown driver side airbag

Hi folks,

Anybody's got a clear picture of a blown (deployed) driver side steering wheel airbag?

Specifically I need to know how exactly the face opens up during deployment and how far down it opens to....

Thanks!!

Sorry, but bumping. Anyone got a pic? Or know how far down the airbag rips to when it deploys?

No? Oh... I see...

The face is torn open by the airbag. It does not just fip up or out. It basically explodes.
