and please tell me how modifying the steering wheel to remove a factory airbag doesnt qualify as "messing with safety features on the car"

if you read my whole post you would've seen the part where i said that something like this mod can slip past a technician at a dealership... something like a steering wheel is very noticeable and would get changed immediately...
idk if you know but when someone trades in a car to a dealership... if it's only a few years old then they put the car back to stock... if you put speakers in the car, I/H/E, etc... that's one of the reasons y u lose money when u add things to a car and try and trade it in....
as far as him cutting wires and making it "ghetto" that really has nothing to do with what i'm talking about...
and an FYI if you trick the car into thinking there was someone in the passenger seat and u get into an accident the airbags will deploy... and on these cars we have one in the seat/dash/headliner just on the passenger side... i've changed these airbags b4 on all those places dash=$1000+, seat=not sure on price but you have to replace the whole back frame + the seat cover + airbag in the seat + the seat sensor module (on side of the seat), on the headliner not sure on price either but u have to change the headliner + airbag + if that plastic piece (a-pillar)breaks too... ohh and you have to also replace the srs unit (airbag module)....
all that just b/c the car thinks someone is in the passenger seat.... this mod will only cost more money in the end and possibly even worse...
