What the hell are you talking about?... You need to include so much more information than just that. Details, man... What year and model are you even talking about? Airbags on the front mount? Very confusing here...

Re: help me out plz

from what i get from this... It seems like the mount for the airbag sensor is in his way and he's asking if he should remove it to mount the body kit.

IF you remove it or move it in general It may not function as intended when you are in an accident. To me it's stupid to take your chances at living because you want a fancier bumper. But dont' say you weren't warned...

In any case id say mout it in realatively the same place but maybe a little lower. That gives you the best chance that it may actually work...

It can't be in the way... The sensors are on the undersides of the front of the frame and are about 1/4" thick... It actually took a little bit of hunting to find them even with my car completely dismantled.

Re: help me out plz

The airbag topic is now being investigated and discussed outside of AF.

Re: help me out plz

He's talking about the ACTUAL bumper. It's made of fiberglass (creamish color) and gets in the way of some bodykits. You can take it off, BUT if you get into a crash, say goodbye to the front of your car. I took mine off when I put on my bodykit and everything is fine, just don't be dumb enough to get into an accident.

I don't think he knows what he is talking about, unless it's some fucked up bodykit, but there are no airbag sensors on the fiberglass bumper. But I know when I was putting on my bodykit, the bumper got in the way so I just took it off.
