    im pretty sure they are. but idk how much stronger the plate bumpers are compared to stock ones. the 2 airbag sensors on each side of the side set infront of the radiator if that makes sense

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    the airbags are inertia driven and have nothing to do w/ the bumper

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    I'm pretty sure Air bags are triggered by accelerometers and not the bumper being pushed back but I could be wrong.
