Does anyone have a cover from a deployed LS500 steering wheel airbag? I need it to investigate how the leather cover reacts to the deployment of the airbag. Even pictures of the deployed bag would be helpful as I would like to see where the split seems are and the controlled fail points on the plastic backing.

 

I have not seen that. Try searching some salvage auction websites to see if you can find that. The steering wheel I think is shared with the ES as well.
