You just won't believe! There might be a legal reason for the "airbag" label.

The right side is the same across all models and years the left depends on if the gauge is installed or not. If it has side curtain bags "airbags" is printed on the bolt plug. There may be different colors.

Here is an ebay ad with fitment for 2006-2011. There were no side curtains in 2006 and all 2011 had them. The side curtain bags are nowhere near the trim pieces; the blow out from under the headliner.

Ah ok, i notice the caps are just blank.. so even though it may not have side airbags the oval plug is the same it just doesnt say"airbags" on it. Gotcha!! So im glad then I dont have to worry about fitment problems... so thank you guys for all your help. I really appreciate the help and the schooling!! You all rule!

Heres a couple of pics for ya!!



Wish I had a set of the red trimmed seats and door panels. I think they would really pop against the Victory Red exterior!!

This is last week before I did the rear seat conversion.
Hard to tell there are rear seats there with the rubber mats.. i had to edit this cuz i had written that this pic was taken before the conversion but its actually after as u can see the split between the 2 rear seats...60/40 right!!

After the rear seat conversion.

Ill eventually get rear door panels and figure out something creative. I have the rear belts I just haven't installed them yet. I dont have the car on the road quite yet but they will be in soon enough.

Figured out the door handles but forgot the seat belts. Wouldn't pass in the US.

The attachment points are there, just go to the junkyard.

Yes sir I did, however, I have to go back to the scrapyard I got it all from cuz I forgot the cover for the smaller of the 2 boxes. Unfortunately its a good hour drive 1 way and I dont have my SS on the road yet. Like I said before it was left to me from my late Uncle, but its technically part of his estate so until everything else in his estate sells I cant transfer it over into my name. Stupid red tape BS. I still have to sell his 02' GMC pickup and 5th wheel Copper Canyon trailer. Once those two items are sold I can put it in my name. It sucks cuz summer will be over soon and i dont think i will put it on the road for winter driving as it has never seen snow.
