anywhere from $1500 and up...and i think it has to be dealer-installed for safety.

nope i think he's pretty much correct on the price but i may be wrong. and yeah i would say the dealer has to install them for safety. i got mine replaced by tellin' the insurance company i wrecked the car which i did and told them the air bag deployed in my accident which it didn't. the air bag actually deployed in its first accident from the previous owner. so i told them i am not takin' my car without a brand new air bag. so they re-estimated my car and just the air bag with new computer and new sensors came out to at least $2300 but i didn't pay for it.

the ladys insurance company which i hit payed for it.

This is all sad news. You guys think I can just remove the old one and go without for awhile. I guess I'll have to cut it out or something

Time for a custom steering wheel!

I saw a 3rd gen airbag on eBay once for a few hundred... just the air bag module

I cut the old one out today. The problem is I'm broke at the moment and I'm working on the drive axles, clutch, windows, and now this.

I thought airbags on 3rd gens are optional? Because it still has that stoopid motorized seatbelts! Anyway, if it's optional, is it legal then to replace it with non-airbagged wheel from other 3rd gens? Otherwise just get a Momo or Nardi or something! They're a pleasure to hold anyhow!

Even though technically it's not legal to replace airbagged steering wheel with non-airbag steering wheel, who's checking?
