    Default Airbags

    I have a 97 civic and was just wondering if there is some sort of fuel shutoff or something when the airbags are deployed.
    Also, would anyone know how much it cost to replace the airbags? (I'm guessing I have to take it to Honda) Oh, and any place that can replace windshields cuz those stupid airbags did nothing but crack my windshield and burn my arm. Not exactly sure why they deployed in the first place seeing as there was no frontal collision, but whatever.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Looking for a shop that does quality work??

    airbags are expensive up the ass, steering wheel air bag + dash airbag + a control unit...the car is probably totaled. best bet is to find used ones off a junked car and replace em all.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    Yea, thats what I figured, damn it. It pisses me off since there was really no need for them to go off. Oh well, thanks for the advice.
