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.

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 ******* pointed straight at the passenger. and if they have enough force to break the winshield like that then

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.
