Looks like we've found the next Einstein! What good is a pretty face when you've got a torn aorta? You deserve the Darwin award...
An airbag doesn't just make a crash more comfortable, people. It increases the time of your deceleration from the speed at impact. This spreads the force out over a longer period of time, which causes less damage to your organs and bones. With a seat belt, you're going fast and then you stop.

IMO, I wouldn't remove it unless you have a real reason to do it. I'm removing mine because my knees are into it when I'm on the track. If my car were only a street car, I wouldn't change it out as I wouldn't be driving that aggressive.
While a deployed airbag may not make you "look pretty" for a while; it much better than what the alternative could be..

However, motor vehicle related situations, states basically choose what they care to enforce (i.e. some states don't care about emissions, some do).

And indeed, some states selectively enforce certain things, and even may set standards beyond that of the federal standards. For example, until recently, removing the airbag from a pre '98 vehicle was illegal in VA. But now, they've revised the law, and it's LEGAL provided the airbag light isn't on (lol don't ask me why that helps the situation any).

Dude you didn't need remove the SRS computer; that just controls the airbag deployment and the 5 beeps for when the airbag is missing/nonfunctional. All you have to do is pull the airbag indicator light from behind the airbag lens in the dash. Problem solved
Oh and ask this guy for more info: https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...6&postcount=14
Moreover, there is NOTHING in neither the Virginia Motor Vehicle Code (http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp...10000000000000) nor the Virginia Safety Inspection Program regulations (http://www.vsp.state.va.us/Safety.sh...pectionProgram) that says you fail w/o an airbag. You CAN, however, fail for warning lights in the dash being on
