Dude, your airbags went off with that level of damage???

If it was not for the airbags it looks like it would not be too bad of a fix.

im surprised your airbags went off too... I think im going to DC my pass. one. I meant your old hood bro.

Like the one guy said, its totaled. I didn't know the airbags went off.

Hey, sorry to hear that man, good luck with selling it!

sorry to hear aboot the car. mine was hit in the same spot as yours except a semi crossed into the lane and his tire took out that part of the car. it cost me 2700 to have it fixed. hood fender radior support front bumper both lights side marker.had to have framed pulled. I got lucky my dad got all parts at cost and has friends that did the work for us. just look around to find parts. Sorry again.

Hey Chuck get on aim and talk to me >>

If you can afford to have the airbag system fixed by someone, you could do the rest of the car yourself.From the pictures you posted you just need a hood, passenger fender, passenger door, and a headlight.All that is easy to replace yourself plus you can put on used parts.Just have someone paint it for you once you get everything replaced.

Your bumper cover looks fine, is there any damage underneath the hood?

What parts did you look up that cost $3000? I hope that includes the airbag system parts.If you want to use used parts, I got a good door I will sale.

Looks like your airbag system did the same as mine, it shattered the windshield.I think everybody that has ever had the airbags deploy should group together and sue Toyota.I don't know if they are designed to shatter the windshield to keep the passenger from busting it with their head or not, but they should have installed a key system to shut the passnger side airbag off when nobody is sitting over there.Just think of all the Celica's that are totaled because of the prices for the damage it causes. >>

Well its not as bad as I thought. Although the insurance company wont pay for any of it... I got it appraised at over $3000... which truthfully is a lot less than i thought it would be. But, sicne I have another front bumper, hood, and headlight assembly, all I need to do is find a windshield and fender and it will be around $2000. And as far as the airbags go, im not gonna put any back in... Im gonna get an aftermarket steering wheel and does anybody have suggestions about the passenger side airbag?

for the passanger airbag best i can say is check tap recyling or a junkyard. get projectors and a bodykit, you might as well if you have to get new stuff anyways >>

Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY A 'REBUILT' AIRBAG

airbags are dangerous enough as is, the rebuilds can kill.

good luck, I hope you can put it back together.
