did the airbag go off because you hit something while taking the dash out?

you think that was a lot........... my whole steering wheel and dash was removed even the pedals and glove compartment, all you basically would see was the metal on the car and the support bar where it goes through the car.

Looks like fun. I thought about it too, so I can finally vinyl the dash, but I think getting a dash from a wreck car will be easier. hmmm, black interior. tasty!

How exactly did the pass. side air bag come out? I tried... couldnt figure it out. The Honda manual says you have to take the steering wheel assy. out, i'm suprised you got around it...

even if you get a dash from a wrecked car youll still have to pull yours out.
