What if?

My car has the 5 piece dash. I was just wondering what would happen if I put a 3 piece dash in my car? Would the airbag break it off and it would strike my passenger? If thats what it would do I think I can live with that. Since ill be in the drivers seat.

And do some proper racing seats with a proper harness setup.

How bad is it that I totally agree with your sick sense of humor? I think finding the 5 piece is just going to save you headaches all around though.

I don't think the 3 peice dash will clip in place of the 5 peice. I'd have to look up the dash and check the clips to be sure.
