Tying into the dash retrofit, I am able to remove the passenger side airbag and effectively the remaining components of the system. Knowing I was moving forward in this direction, I sold off the Alcantara Nardi steering wheel<\/a>. I later sold away my entire ’99 front end<\/a>, excluding the combo lights. <\/p>\n With the car bumper-less, I unplugged and took off the 3 airbag sensors that bolted to the front of the car and the computer module in the cabin behind the dash. This cleared up wiring on the passenger side engine bay and from under both fenders. At the same time, I also deleted the horns. The Rothsport quick release<\/a> has no provisions for a horn, and I honestly don’t want it for this car. Interestingly enough, the signal wiring for the horn is actually intertwined with the airbag’s… so, regardless, taking out the airbag sensors and wiring like I did would have rendered the horns nonfunctional – unless they were spliced back in. <\/p>\n With the airbag sensors and horns removed, a couple pounds in weight was actually shed. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The weight is undoubtedly a minutiae, I’m more pleased with the reduced clutter.<\/p>\n
