Yeah, the s5 is 'thinner' around the top IIRC. I'd search around in the 2nd gen FS section and see if you can find some interior/gauge cluster pics of an s4/s5 to see the difference.

Also, the ***** etc. are slightly different, but I'm not sure if you care about that.

There are somewhat major differences between the two series.

The flipper switches (cruise and turn/highbeam) are mounted entirly different and not interchangeable.

The S4 have visors over the openings, while S5 just have built up openings.

You can not use S5 turn signal and cruise control switches in a S4 surround and however you can mount a S4 cruise switch into a S5 surround (it just sticks back a little and looks funky). S4 and S5 turn signal switches are wired entirly different and not interchangeable.

that's weird because I got an S4 one for my S5 last summer and I switched everything onto it and it fit. The only reason I know it's S4 is because you say those have little visors.
