Re: They told me it was impossible!

So let me get this straight...both air bags have deployed?

Is your SIR light on?

Does your state have an emission test?

I assume we are talking about Texas.......

Can't do this in Massachusetts......every option that originally was installed in the car, has to be in operating condition....also we do an emission test that involves scanning the vehicle for codes ......An SIR code would definitely show up.......

I tried to see what was involved in an inspection in Texas....found this:

Items of Inspection

Cracked Windshields
Seatbelts
Headlight Aim
Engine Swaps

Funny thing is, the horn is not listed....makes you wonder what other things are not listed....

One thing you better do, is inform your insurance company that you are driving without air bags......should you or a passenger get injured in an accident, and the insurance company finds out the vehicle doesn't have air bags(and they will know, because they can read the data from the SDM and know exactly when the bags were deployed), you could be in trouble with them.....also you may have trouble selling the vehicle because the buyer's insurance company may put restrictions/higher rate on the car...
