i recently removed the grille on my 96 gt, and notticed the 2 air bag impact sensors are now exposed to any stray debris that might get shot up there on the highway. anyone think that a small rock could set off my airbags if it hit one of those sensors? or can they withstand a lot more, i mean I figure they are built to go off for a lot more than a pebble...just want to be sure? if not i can put a couple light brackets in front. thanks!

That would really suck if all the sudden, cruising down the highway then, BAM!!!!! In yo face goes the airbag. Someone would proably die. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Those things are hard as hell to set off. At least mine are. My cars had its share of fender benders and mine have never gone off.
