If you pull that piece off and look behind it, you're not going to see an airbag. The explanation that has been provided as to why it is two pieces is ease of manufacturing. Mine was made into a single piece some time ago:

I actually plan on taking mine off because I'm meeting Mario Andretti and I want him to sign my dash. I will probably clear vynil over the dash with his name in it to preserve it. Unless I can come up with a better place for him to sign.

I've got a couple of questions
1)what material did you use for that look, love it.
2)how'd you join them? the joint looks so clean. (nice job).

It's genuine cow hide...as far as how it was bonded, it was some sort of adhesive. I had it done professionally by an upholsterer, so I'm not positive on what dark arts they practice. Might be selling it soon to replace it with something else...

Thanks - I thought about doing this, it's tempting! I would do just the dash piece and match it to the Galaxy Blue (Ultramarine) exterior. I don't normally like color-matching to the exterior, but I think it can work in this case.
