My airbags are deployed, and popular opinion from my friends is that I should not replace them, but then I thought that If I didnt replace them, then I would be wasting the space underneath the passenger airbag, there has to be something useful to do with it. any suggestions?

I was thinkin about putting a TV there in a custom fiberglass thing.

TV. relocate radio there. amp . 8 in sup, usefull cup holders, gagues, mazine rack, trash can, neon lights,

I'd keep a 6 pack of beer in there. Route your A/c in there to get it cold

i have the same problem. i don't know what to do with my air bag cover i thought about making a fiberglass cover of it and keeping it as storage.

Monitor, EQ-

but look, if insurance covers it, and if it's not too expensive, get them replaced. Safety takes presidence.

i just replaced my airbags...omg they were a biznatch to install!!! if ur not gonna put them back in make a monitor in a fiberglass thing then put hinges on it so it can go back down in and look stock! people will be less likely to steal it if they dont know its there! lol just go to the toyota dealership and get a new door(there like 20 bucks) and mold it to the back of the tv mount.

mount a CD changer there with a fiberglass surround and paint it...

I am going to pull my passanger side air bag out and put a LCD in (7.2) and put DVD player under the passanger side seat. I have also moved my CD player to the vent spot, and will be putting a 7.2 LCD where the old spot of the sterio.

I don't get why you would take out your airbag if it works? I mean lets say you get in a head on collision and you have a passenger you care about, wouldn't you want her to be safe?

Yeah, honestly. Thats like removing your steering wheel to put a sports one on while the airbag still works. It's not worth it

i am going to remove both airbags, but not until i get racing seats with harnesses, and stabalizer bars put in

I was gonna make a motorized TV/Switch/Gague mount but unless my bags go that plan went out the door.

might want to read that again, they arent going to work again, although now Im still wondering if I should replace them or not because I want to keep the better insurance rate the airbags get me, and If I dont tell the insurance company, they will think it has functiional bags in it, and I have better insurance rate, but then I wonder what happens if I get in an accident, can they say Im not covered because I was supposed to have airbags?
oh, and about replacing the passenger airbag door, you dont really have to after the airbag deploys, there are two white clips that hold the front on, they break when the bag deploys, so if you replace those then its all good.

Yup, anything like that, they'll use it as an excuse to screw you over. And I dont think anyone was asking you to reuse the airbags? just possibly get them replaced.

Unless you can say, with all certainty, that you had no IDEA the airbags were deployed when you got the car, they might be mean enough to just deny you coverage- ESPECIALLY medical coverage... and those are the big bills.

Would a passenger airbag even help at all if the passenger had their seatbelt on? I am thinking of just getting a cover for my passenger one becasue it is deployed. Any of you guys want to sell yours that are planning on doing things?

... uhm, yes. Go watch some crash test dummies ok?

a pair of airbags for our celicas cost $800 - $1000. so i wouldnt replace em... and if the insurance is paying for it... get a upholstry guy to redo the airbags so it looks original... keep the money.

and then use it for your girlfriend's tombstone

actually ive taken out many airbags for cars and ive blown up a few outside a car myself... believe me those things kill more than they save... the sound of it alone will make my gf pee herself and the force is so high, when i blew up the airbags it flew up 8feet in the air... just matters on the person personally
