Default Airbags!!!

I do not have a driver side airbag as well as passenger side roof airbag. I have been trying to get these two parts for the longest without paying a ridiculous price. Can any one possibly point me in the right direction? I'm located in Dallas so if anyone knows of any shop that i can look for the part at please help me out. Is there any website i can purchase them from?

I once wanted to have a body shop fix in the airbags for me but i got a quote of close to $3k which i feel is not fair. I have seen videos of of people removing an installing new airbags in 10 minutes. I believe the driver side airbag cost between $270 and $500. The passenger side roof airbag is around $300. Therefore both cannot be more than $1k. I have no other choice but to pay labor cost for the roof airbag installation but with that everything shouldn't be more than $1500!

I also want to know if i need any other extra parts like a control module and whatnot. I would appreciate any feedback.

Cheers

ebay.

no, you should not need a new control unit, unless it has deployed SRS components on three different occasions. you will need to have someone reset it for you after the airbags are installed.

Don't be surprised if you end up having to replace both pretensioners for the seatbelts-they likely deployed along with the bags.

The bags are super easy to replace..I have them if you need.. If your steering airbag was blown then you will need the drivers belt buckle and a battery cable as well.
