Default 3 spoke airbag needed ...

Anyone know the best place to get one?

I saw this on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...175879507&rd=1

Didn't understand what he meant by "the module is not included."

Anyone have an extra one (black) lying around that they want to unload?

That'll get bid up to 400 easily. Crazy.

Good, cheap three spoke airbags are like hen's teeth. Best to lay down the $500 for a new leather one. Used airbags (with no knowledge of the original user or its history) are right up there with used toilet paper on the desirability scale IMHO.

Good point. Especially if a used one gets up to $400.

Do you know what they mean by "the module is not included." Not sure what that refers to and it makes me nervous.

I don't know either. It all looks to be there in the photo, but the ambiguousness of "no module included" would bother me, too.

Not a 3-spoke, right?

After looking for a used three spoke airbag, I finally gave up and bought a new one. From Sunset, the leather version is less costly than the vinyl iteration, believe it or not

I think it was around $460 plus $60 hazardous shipping costs

Glad it didn't go up. I inquired about one a few months ago and that was the price they quoted. Did you get one with the silver crest or gold?

"Module" in this case is the airbag module (ornge box) under the dash. At least that's the usual junk yard lingo.

Bite the bullet and get the new one from Sunset. This is a critical part and I would not take a chance with one where I do not know the history.

just my 2 ct
