help! airbag blew? how hard it is to replace?
i got into an accident and i am wondering how hard it is to replace the blown airbags. Is it just a pop out the old one and put in the new one? or there is more to it?

get one from a honda wholesaler and take it to your dealer. will take them 30 mins to install and about 45 bucks, why play with something thats made to save your life. I know my life is more important the $45 labor.

In addition to the SRS airbag module, I think they'll also need to run a conductivity /continuity check on the SRS system wiring and possibly replace the accelerometer switches that trigger the airbags in teh first place.

ok... let me recheck this... say i buy the driverside and passengerside from ebay say for about 75 bucks for both... all i have to do is drive down to the acura dealer and pay them 45 bucks.... if that's it... then HELL YEAH! gonna call up the dealer tomorrow and ask for the real price.... 45 bucks sound kind of cheap for a dealer you know....
yeah like dude said up above... replace some acething a ma jig... wouldn't that cost more? oh wells, the only sure way to know is to call and ask. thanks help alot...
by the way, i'm thinking of getting a jdm steering wheel and the passgener airbag tray thing... why do you guys think of that? ie. safety? does the dangers of the airbag outweight the dangers without an airbag?

I have never liked airbags. They add weight and complexity that I don't feel is necessary. I have always worn my seatbelt, if airbags were all that, why are there no airbags in a race car?
