honda bags are weird and unpredictable. I had a wreck in my 6 week old 2k hatch about two years ago. this was almost a head on collision going 45mph and my bags didnt deploy.

doesn't look bad form the picture, but the damage may also be in the frame and underneath the dash, those hondas and their crumple zones!

Honda/Acura airbags are one of the best on the market and are made to protect the person driving the car, so if what ever you hit doesnt break the sensors the airbags arent going to deploy

well... my options are this.... have it fixed ( if the claims person says its not totaled ) and then sell it to "lil bobby who just wants to put a kit on it...
or just get the $$$ for it and sell the parts....

im so depressed.... i might have to get a new car....

damn.. wierd.. cuz when i got in my accident, i was going 45 and hit the stupiod reckless driver at that speed. my airbags deployed, but i was able to keep my head back, and it didnt even hit my head at all.. so i still dunno how getting my head hit by airbag feels like.
