Default Cost of side curtain airbags?

I was thinking of removing them them for weight purposes and I plain just dont want them.

How much are they worth?

yeah, they are really simple to take out since they are not important at all, 2 screws then you can take them off. Really easy for someone else to install too.
I took them off my car and shaved 1 second off my 1/4mile time.

humm........

If you want to get rid of em . . . I'd be willing to purchase them from you.

It's worth the added weight for the side protection.. Besides.. how are you going to remove them from the inside roof?? You'll also need the impact switches to activate them and there buried in the car.. IMHO, Not worth removing.. You should have gotten a car built without them..

I guess no one got my humor. Is it because I am NOT FUNNY?

Ok then, like K2we said, you won't be able to remove it, sell it, reinstall it (no shop will back up this kind of work), will not save any weight, will not go faster.

well, I wouldnt be selling them to someone whos car didnt already come with them. If they were in a side collision and they repair their car, they will need replacement airbags. These airbags go for over $300 per side brand new, so someone could save some money in repair costs here.

Jedoublery, your correct by removing just the curtaion airbags the car wont be noticable lighter. Its an over all thing, when trying to get this car to wiegh 3000 lbs every little bit counts. You make it sound as if all I am doing is removing just the curtain air bags. You have to look at the big picture.
