i think its fixable but while looking for parts today i ran into a problem. both airbags deployed now where do i get them and how much are they? pics to come when they get loaded onto my computer

 

You will pay hundreds of dollars for airbags.

Best bet is to claim it on your insurance if you can. When I wrecked my car, I replaced the airbags with a MOMO steering wheel and a candaian airbag blockoff tray.

 

are a salvage yard, if you want stock apperance.

 

dont have full coverage.... its up to me to fix it. the car is actually canadian so i dont know if i do that if it will pass inspection since it is supposed to have them from the factory

Most junkyards charge an arm and a leg for airbags too .... if they haven't already taken them out back and deployed them as a safety precaution.

 

 

not too bad... just fix it up and air bags are expenvive but you can use any civic airbag in you gen.

 

Looks worse then it probably is. details on the wreck?

 

was on a highway off-ramp when i crested over a hill there was some stupid lady BACKING UP so i hit the brakes started slidding, knowing i was gonna hit her i tried letting off the brakes and going around her but it was a split second too late.

 

Explain how the wreck was your fault? She was backing up in traffic ....

 

because.....

A) she lied to the cop and said she wasnt backing up that she slid sideways (while driving a new tiberon with abs.... so you tell me how she slid sideways)

B) the cop said i should have been going slow enough to stop.

so not only is it "my fault" but he also is giving me a ticket for thaveling at an unsafe speed for road conditions

Get a lawyer.

 

get a lawyer to fight a hundred dollar ticket? i'll just fight it myself worst is i have to pay the fine

 

$100 ticket plus hundreds more in insurance costs over time. lawyer will probably keep the points off your license..

 

i have the front stock steering wheel off my eg with the airbag if you want it. sell it really really cheap so just pm me if interested.

and get a lawyer, itll pay off in the long run.

pics no worky for me, haha i just assumed it was an eg. dunno why. EK?

 

Too replace air bags doesnt just meant the air bag itself. You also need to replace the sensor that was hit. But air bags are going really cheap here on Honda Tech look around and you would be surprised to pick some up for about 100 bucks shipped. OUCH sorry for the accident Im still fixing my car from my accident also.

Damn, you guys are good people

 

Save money on not buying the airbags. You might be looking at replacing more important things.

 

No way a wreck that's your fault will only be a hundred bucks. Pay $500-750 for a lawyer and pin it on the lady and the cop, it's likeley you can get reinbursed to in a small court civil suit if you can prove the aldy was lying or get her to admit it was her fault.

Take her to terms first and tell her what you're doing, then get a lawyer.

 

dude... that sucks man

no, you'll end paying more than just a fine. if you fight it and win, she gets fined, no points will be on your license, and her insurance company will repair (or total) your car. your best bet is to find a way that you come out winning.
