NO NO NO....I bought the OEM core support AND bumper cover for $308. ----, I could have gotten a replacement bumper cover for like $48 shipped and the core support for $90 shipped. Yes, the $308 was kinda steep for factory parts, but I was planning on keeping it for myself and wanted the ---- to line up good. I have delt with both OEM and knock off parts. Some of the knock off parts work real well sometimes, sometimes they fit like ----. I did not however buy a OEM windshield. I got the windshield installed with new moldings for $140. I also bought some of those Bosch Icon wiper bladed and I have to say, they are the ----. It has been raining on/off the past two days and those wiper blades work greatl. Yes, they are pricey, but damn I like 'em. :y

Yea, the passenger side air bag is BIG. Now you can see why they take out the windshield 90% of the time. The driver side had a nice circle stitched into it...the face plant section, lol. I had already cut it out before pictures were taken.

that picture makes me want to remove my passengerside airbag in my golf. that fuckers pointed straight at the passenger. and if they have enough force to break the winshield like that then :l

Airbags hurt man. I am sure they save lives, but they hurt. I was in an accident in my Explorer back in 96. I only partially hit the airbag cause I was flying towards the passenger door. ------- bag raped the inside of my arms and one of my nipples was purple for like two weeks. That ---- hurt as bad as the whiplash, strained ligaments in my wrist/thumb and the bruised thighs from hitting the steering wheel. I now wear my seatbelt 99.99% of the time. I was used to the fact tha I mostly drove my EF which has no bags, so I figured why spend the money on them in the EK.
