I think so, but I think a new hat is in order

Looks like 2 bags and if you really want to, a bumper paint job. How fast was it? Over 10mph?

Hmm :\ Not sure of the whole dash bit though, but it's possible. I think that it'd be more worth putting a dash in it though if there's no structural damage. I mean even the windshield looks intact, not something all deployed bag cars can say. Lots that come into the shop are cracked from either the displaced air or being hit by the bag.

Fix it up is my recommendation.

You can get all the parts dirt cheap from some one parting a car out.

Tough luck mang, Got good news though I just pulled both airbags out my 97 two days ago for weight loss. Neither have ever been deployed, I also have the Air bag module with pigtail available, and the PS airbag bracket if u need it. PM if interested and make me reasonable offer.

I can't believe the windshield is not toast, as usually in our cars when the airbags deploy the pass side airbag destroys the windshild. Take a look at what it did to my car when my brother wrecked it 10 years ago:

I'd say rebuild it as you can get parts here and other boards for pretty cheap.

It is an easy rebuild. Some kid with a 1996 T/A drove the car into the ditch setting off both air bags. It looked bad but really took about a weekend to get the car back to normal. The hardest part was fixing the lower A arms and putting the new hub in.
