Hey EP3 guys

I have a chance to get an '05 EP3 si for a pretty darn low price. THe only problem was the car was in a front end accident where the airbags deployed. So i have a few questions:

Is the front bumper support spot welded to the frame or bolted?

Is the Upper rad. support spot welded or bolted?

If the airbags deployed and i were to get a new steering wheel and connect it. Is that all that would have to be done to fix the problem or is that a bandaid and i need to hook it up to a computer and reset the system?

Any input is appreciated as i dont feel like travleing to see the car in person, just from lookin at pics, but i cant really tell bout the supports.

As far as airbags, if its like the 05 rsx type-s it will blow out the seat belts too. There is a part very similar that is connected to the seatbelt rewind, it locks up the belts when the bags blow, "I was able to do some modifying to make it work again for now until I have and extra $1200 to replace it all again, not sure if they are the same". When you buy air bags it replaces the whole center in the steering wheel and the whole panel if you have passenger bag. It should reset itself without reprogramming. You don't really even need to replace it if you dont want to, they're just a good thing to have in your car.
