lets stop arguing about the safety and get back to the question

i just the other day took a utility knife cut off the passenger cover. took into the garage cut of the tabs and know it sits in there just fine looks like stock.
i need to get it recovered with vinal like the dash and then no one would ever be the wiser.

and if you want you could cover the inside with fiber galss and have a storage place for something like an SAFC or a turbo timer or something.

my airbag deployed one time and i didnt even get into an accident, let me tell you, the force that which that thing comes out is almost enough to knock your ass out.. also my wife has a 2003 eclipse. she went head on with a tree in the snow. the way the sensors are, the tree went straight in between the sensors and it never deployed.

Airbags in my avalon deployed while I was in it a couple years ago (yes I hit something) and it DID knock me out.

I only hit the other car at 15 miles an hour tho, and as such, the airbags caused more damage than I would have had; but if I was going 10 mph faster, I would have smacked the steering wheel causing SERIOUS damage- had the airbags not been there.
