Default Passenger Airbag Switch

Hey everyone. So I bought my S2000 almost two weeks ago, and it has a passenger airbag switch that was installed in 2002. I have the paperwork from the installation which was done at Honda with OEM parts. Surprisingly, it was a pretty long process to get approval to get the switch installed in the car. I assume the previous owner had a child which is why the switch needed to be installed. The cool thing is, in the paperwork I have it states that if I wish to have the switch uninstalled, an authorized Honda dealer will uninstall it for free, and send me a $100 check in the mail just for returning the equipment! I don't mind the fact that it is there, it's actually pretty cool, but I don't like the fact that the display is right on the dash. I was wondering if anyone has any idea of where I can move this so it isn't visible? It's just double-sided taped to the dash, I just want to hide it since you can tell it is old haha. If anyone has some input I'd appreciate it! Here is a picture of what I am talking about:

Anyone? I'm just wondering if there may be an easy place to hide it somewhere near the pillar or something.

Look into getting a 2006+ radio door bezel. Between the vents is a passenger airbag on/off display. Of course you would have to do some electrical work from your existing display to hook up the new radio bezel.

Hmm that's an idea but I really was just wondering if there was a simple way to hide it near where it is currently. I don't mind the device itself, I just would prefer it to not be visible.

Plasti dip it black or vinyl wrap it in black carbon fiber wrap. You can avoid the hassle of relocating it that way.

Not a bad idea, I will do that if I can't easily hide it somewhere. I may pull off the A-pillar and see if there's any room down there for it or something.
