I wouldn't take off the A-pillar if you have the side curtain airbags....seriously.

Personally, I would never mess with the SRS. But then again, I have no clue what I am doing so I'll leave the knowledgable people answer this.

You can take off the cover on the side airbags on the A-pilliar, they just snap off. Just don't touch the wire back there, I don't think anything would happen, but I also wouldn't want my face close enough to see what happens if something indeed does happen.

If you have curtain side airbags, you are out of luck in a different department... replacing your seats...

The curtain airbag doesn't deploy from the A-pilliar by the way...

i dont think all of the airbags deployed in that picture because wouldnt one have come out of the steering wheel?? i know there is an air bag in the a pillar cause im pretty sure i saw it...it was a long cloth tube.

anyway...i have decided not to intsall the pillar and gauges that i bought for my tc because of this problem. so if anyone with a tc that doesnt have srs airbags would like to buy them, let me know.

i have everything that came with the set seeing as how i never got to install it. i bought it off of ebay...here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-06...mZ250010072426

the three gauges that i got with it are: air/fuel, oil pressure, water temp :D
i will sell all of it for $100
