I need to know if I can have a steering whell with no airbags in my 03 lancer. Charles said its like an $800 Fine and its not even a fix it ticket. I just want some help before i go through with installing it. Im sre theres gonna be a lot of Yes and Nos so I made a Poll. So is it illegal to have no airbag?

 

Heres on inside an Evo. I think its Evo 5...

 

im pretty sure its illegal. no cop is gonna see that when you drive by..but when you get pulled over for sum petty **** and they see that. its a good night ruiner.

now thats a cockpit!! i dont think thats an EVO..has the feel of a 2 seater. by the fact that the center console is higher than the seats ..but i dunno..

 

get a EVO 8 wheel. they look almost exatcly like that but they have airbags. problem solved. you'll lose you're cruise control tho.

 

I'm pretty sure that pic is a guy on the forum's old RX-7, but I may be mistaken. Too lazy to check and it's not really worth it.

Removing air bags from a street registered vehicle is a federal offense similar to tampering with a functioning catalytic converter. Besides, it's the best safety feature you have after um...brakes and a seatbelt. You may not get caught, but hell...it's your life.

 

what is the best option for keeping the airbag and cruise control without staying stock, bulky or ugly?

 

it's all about sacrifice ... get after market cruise control if you want it that bad.

 

yes it is an rx-7 in the picture.. but i also second someone else's opinion on just getting an evo 8 steering wheel or just stuffing some extra large pillows in front of the evo 7 steering wheel..

 

there are aftermarket steering wheels with airbags now. You could get the Evo8 wheel, or Grant makes some I think. Just look around, they're becoming a trend, because like they said, you can't remove the airbag.

 

Yup, go with the Evo VII or VIII wheels - they contain the airbag, thus making them legal!

 

anyoneknow what the wheel is costing from the dealer i canrember a few on ebay going for like a grand

 

I voted yes, it's your life but then maybe the idea of being a CTD (Crash Test Dummy) appeals to you?

 

It is a FEDERAL crime to remove an airbag from a road car.

 

I totally agree. A seat belt saved my life. I would never **** with any of the things that are for safety. Its just stupid.

 

after my accident, i will never own a vehicle with out the air bag. if you want after market, do yourself a favor and get one with the bag.
