Had the center stack painted & hydro dipped on my wife's car. Base is the factory orange with a marble hydro dip.

Had my Fiat 500 done too. Silver base with barbed wire shadow then "homocide" over that.

Fiat dash.

Hydro dip is exactly what it sounds like.... There are dozens of videos of the process using both paints & pre-printed graphics on youtube.

The panels are prepped for paint then painted with an automotive base coat. There is a film that gets floated on a water tank and the part is submerged in it. Clear is sprayed on the top.

It's a Pioneer with Navigation & Carplay, I don't recall the model.

Im taking mu waterfall off now, and i know the passenger air bag has a wire to the dash. Is that just an indicator that its on or if i pull out the wire to take off my waterfall will the airbag go off?

To add to what Oldblue said. There's no need to disconnect the battery when you uinplug that indicator, Anything else airbag related I would though.
