I can usually learn something from posts that start off with "stupid question"... But this one really is a stupid question.
I recently upgraded from a 93 roadster (no airbags) to a 97 GTS with airbags, and no cutoff switch. The only times I usually get to drive, are when I take one of two (extremely cute) kids with me. Through a search of this bbs, I was able to locate a part number for the cutoff kit, and ordered through our favorite parts guy.
The install was easy for the most part. It's just a pigtail that goes on the airbag connector to disable it, and fool the computer into not lighting the airbag idiot light. The difficult part... To protect everyone's tuchas, the kit comes with stickers for just about every flat surface of the car warning that the airbag is disabled. One is supposed to be put on the "B pillar". I think the B pillar is the area behind the side window? The sticker is way to ugly to put on the outside, and doesn't look weatherproof. Does it expect me to stick it on the inside of this area? Who's going to see it there? On a normal car, I guess that is where someone would reach for the seatbelt. Am I a total ****** for putting this sticker on the car, or in our litigious society, should I definitely put it there?
I told you it was a stupid question.
