I'm in the UK and also have the Pre-Facelift S500L with Piano Black and the last time i looked it was definitely not a Honda I have the same two tone interior as yours and the Piano Black IMO looks great and is a great contrast,definitely not Plastic looking !!

You are doing a fantastic job on your 500 and it should be an amazing car when you have finished your project.

Do you need to do some modifications to the steering wheel, or will it fit right into the excisting holes? I might buy a set directly from your webshop

And I am still interested in buying your airbag cover
