PURE GUESSWORK HERE> I don't know if there are any state laws about airbags, but I'm pretty sure they're covered under Federal regs thru NHTSA. I'm not going to put out the effort to start searching, either. BUT it's probably illegal to _sell_ a car with any modification to safety equipment, and who knows what we're "allowed" to do anymore to our personal &&$^$& property.<GUESSWORK OFF
What I'd like is a swap-out airbag, a second one looking bone-stock but filled with broken coke bottles, roofing nails and edge-sharpened dimes. Wired in thru the anti-theft, of course...... BLOOFF! I'd not mind doing an after-Marvin cleanup on that at all ("o, man, I just shot Marvin in the face" -Vincent Vega).
If you're belted in properly, the airbag has to come meet you, you'd never get out to hit the wheel. And pray you don't have your thumbs hooked around the rim of the steering wheel when that thing goes off, because something's going to break. I just hate the things. Give me a call when NASCAR and F1CA start using them.
