[QUOTE=TRD_Power;2489840]As safe as the SC's are, I would NEVER drive ANY car without duel airbagsQUOTE]
I notice in your sig you have an 1970 Chevelle SS, I cant imagine that you put airbags in that, so I will gladly drive it for you
I have another car without airbags and I have also owned many cars without them. I dont worry about not having one, but I wouldnt remove them from my Lexus.

Being in auto service technology and setting off alot of air bags and seeing what they can do. They scare me, im not for them if you have a good restraint system. Besides they dont work properly unless you are at 10 and 2 with your arms extended fully away from you. Like you drive around always thinking about oh the air bag could go off??? i dono...

LEXuriouss

why not --i wouldnt give 2****s.
remove airbag and put a tv screen in your sterring wheel

If I were racing (because of all the safety equipment that is required), or at least had a multi-point harness, then I wouldn't care. But using my SC as a daily driver with the stock seat belt... yeah, I'll keep my airbag.

Just a couple of days ago, there was a head-on collision in front of my house. The road is a 55 MPH highway, and the cars involved were a late-model Chrysler (or Nissan), and a 70's era pickup; the late-model driver was a little banged up but walking after the crash, while the truck driver was ejected from his vehicle and seriously injured.

I swapped my steering wheel out for a soarer non-airbag unit. I feel safer.

I doubt my airbag even works in the SC. Its been in two accidents and neither have gone off

i voted yes. as long as you wear your seat belt and are observent while driving then you should be able to avoid Most accidents.
I sure have b/c i pay attention and anticipate what others are going to do.

I would keep it too many F'ed up drivers around! Here is a little story: I was driving yesterday and I saw this Durango behind me speeding and slowing down many times. When I was approaching the stoplight (I was already on my brakes) I heard a screatching noise and looked in my rear view miror and quickly changed the lanes. The guy in the durango slid right past me when I moved in the other lane and he bumper checked the car in front of me!! If I did not move my car would have been a crushed bear can! So I would keep the airbag or get the TRD three spoke or replace the steering wheel with one of the other lexus wheels!

lose the airbag and get a seat belt upgrade... to those of you who care about looks, well looks only matter if you're around to enjoy them =P .. I for one don't want to be punched in the face by an old Airbag...

Some of us have older SC's, and well Airbags don't last forever... Who want a 10yr old + airbag hitting them in the face?... the airbag some of you don't want to drive without? I understand what you're all saying, but I'd rather have the upgraded seat belts, suspension and brakes. I don't trust airbags http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...=airbag+barrel The old ones are even worse..which is what most of us have.

I've seen a barrel put on top of an airbag and then detonated, which caused the barrel 10+ft in the air... yes I realize the airbag in the water and the examples giving are not real word because the bag is suppose to deploy and the say hi to your face!... but if it says hi to your arm...well that's why arms are sometimes broken.

Does anyone know when lexus/toyota recommends the airbag be checked and replaced... ? 10yr/15yr?

My 87 Vette does not have an airbag and since the car is made of fiberglass I’m not sure an airbag would save you in an accident. OTOH if you’re involved in a fatal accident and your airbag was disconnected it won’t bother you that you didn’t have one if you’re the one that bought the farm. Of course if someone close to you is driving the car and they could have been saved by a connected airbag then you will probably never forgive yourself.

I don't like air bags in my play cars. But in my daily driver like my SC300 I prefer to have them. I have a scar on my head from an accident where I hit my head on my aftermarket wheel. It really doesn't bother me, I will drive a car if it doesn't have airbags no problem.

mrhappi

No airbag, but I'm pleased with my decision. Safety is a concern, but daily driven it's not.
