dealership installing ebay airbag

im not sure actually...but i purchased an airbag just like rondog did from the same supplier over a year ago...VVVVVVV

 

are you trying to tell me that a snake is going to pop out when it deploys ... I hate snakes

 

especially that "expulsion of metal shrapnel" part.

 

:lol: - at least with this one, you *know* what you're getting.

 

"Whadya in for?"

"Posession."

"Posession with intent to sell."

"Assault and Battery."

"Posession."

"Burglary."

"Posession with intent to sell."

"Murder."

"Armed Robbery."

"Selling fake airbags."

 

I don't know the specifics of the regulations, but in a nutshell, yes. Chinese counterfeit airbags are considered unregulated explosive devices in most states. I read a few articles about it recently... let me see if I can find any...

Be smart consumers people. Don't kill yourself or your loved ones to save a buck.

Edit: Other posters got to it before I did, but as you can see it's pretty well documented...

 

Chinese airbags are all the rage, on ebay, in parts stores. Problem is... They kill you or mame you, or don't go off, or use harsh chemicals that burn you.

I wouldn't touch a NON-OEM airbag with a 10FT pole.

 

Live and learn I guess. I couldn't justify why an airbag cost $700 dollars...then again if that is normal, $180 airbag should have been a red flag. I found a guy on my facebook who works for toyota and said he can get one at cost for $521

 

seriously..I still haven't taken it out..went to dinner at my parents and my dad didn't have a torx bit -__- and now it's raining..morning it is

 

Ha at first I wondered why you linked those tire chocks then I read the reviews. The 4 star positive review was the biggest load of bullshit. Who the hell repairs falling-apart chocks with expanding foam and fiberglass and still trusts them to hold up a vehicle? Hell no.
