Looks not that bad. New front bumper and replace the steering wheel with a aftermarket one (i have a grant, click the link in my sig and check page 2 or 3 for pics) I removed the passenger airbag awhile back to save weight. Just pull the dash off and remove all the remaining air bag equipment (bracket, air bag computer, wires) You will probably need a new dash pad (roughly 100 bucks used) and the air bag cover but nothing that isnt fixable. Good luck and sorry about the wreck

well they already blew so cant screw anything up, just pull the fuse if you are worried about it, and if you are permantly deleting your airbags, just start pulling it out save you about 20 pounds total

if you like you car and want to keep your car... fix it, it shouldnt even be a question. but like he said above. have a professional at a body shop do the airbag.

Dang that set off the airbag? Looks like barely any damage on the bumper. That's nuts.

damn airbags deployed with that minor front end impact. If you wanna make it safe again get a new clockspring new impact sensors, and of course new bags. Or just go to pick-a-part and get you a pass side bag and go with aftermarket wheel and pull the fuse. It's only worth fixing if you think it is. If it was my car I wouldn't repair it just delete it but thats me
