Default Actually I think it is illegal to sell something like that since there is no air bag in it

but yet looks like there should be one. Some body shops have been caught and fined for doing just that to cut corners and make a few extra bucks.

Probably net illegal to sell them but could be if you use them without disclosure.

Default I thought there was a law that says all cars made after a set date

must have a drivers side airbag.

Default Sure from the makers but we are allowed to f'k up our own cars in a variety of ways.

I don't know if it is legal or not but I'd bet selling the covers is legal even if using them is not.

Default would you buy a "resealed condom"

I guess it would as a cheap way for someone doing a sport wheel swap but other then that .. ???

if your gonna eat your wheel why not make it a momo Millennium ??

Default when an airbag fires, it uses a small gunpowder charge and shreds the actual airbag...

the goal is not to have your head hit a fully inflated bag, but to hit a bag that is losing pressure to softly stop your cranial movement.

So....unless they somehow acquired a fresh airbag and charge and packed it into the housing, it does not make sense.

My brother had nice little powder burns on his cheek when he flipped his old Supra Turbo.

Cheers,
Sameer
