That sucks but from expierence that is not 6k in damage if you do it yourself...When i got in my accident I screwed up my header panel, both headlights, hood and that was pretty much it...At the same time when i bought the car the fender was a little screwed up and I also replace that. I got the header panel for $100 or so, headlights for like $80 or $90, hood was like $635 with tax (Cervinis + they are in NJ), fender was like $120 shipped...Then I got my whole entire car painted for $1500...The airbags i did it the cheap way. Our steering wheel style airbags come in other ford cars such as tauras and escorts. So I found and escort took its module, sensors and driver side airbag from the junkyard for $100 on a side impacted car...I then had to modify the bracket for the module and the airbag sensor modules to fit right. for the passenger side I ripped the airbag out and took the cover off of it (drilling out all the pop rivets) I then super glued the cover back together identically and repainted it the stock color after I knew it would hold. I then glued the cover right over where the airbag normally goes and it looks like I have one...The only thing is you wont have a working passenger airbag so tell people to buckle up
Someone in an SUV stopped fast in front of me at about 25 MPH and I turned the wheel and hit the brakes but it locked up and hit their tow hitch. Hit the dr side light, bumper hood and both air bags popped. Car looks like freaking new other than that but 6k + dammage.
