No kit made for air bag equipped cars. only way to do it is modify the one for non-air bag or get a differnt column with no air bag.

people keep on saying that but ive been pulled over several times in my 96 with a 13" grant gt steering wheel and the cops never said shit. even when i got it smogged the grease monkey didnt say anything.
as for airbag kits...i think grant only makes steering wheel trims for our year...i just grabbed a new wheel for an earlier year..i think 1980 something. fits fine. got the matching airbag delete for the passenger side from upr.

you would have to fix it when you sell the car, or you would be liable if the new owner were to get in an accident.
you can do whatever you want when it's your car. Pretty stupid IMO to defeat the airbags.

i highly doubt id have to put airbags back in if i wanted to sell my car. plus id make them sign a waiver. i didnt defeat the airbags on purpose...i bought the car for a steal just because the airbags were deployed....only minor damage on the front. also..all the cars ive owned before never had airbags...so i dont care.

There is a way that you can "legally" remove airbags from any vehicle. Not sure of the details so I cant back this with fact. A friend of mine has a 2007 Scion. He had the air bags removed. WHY, I dont know. Also, it was done at the dealership.
