Passenger Airbag blew - Dash Fix?

[sailnaked6842]

Hey guys, prospective new viper owner. Car I'm looking at tomorrow needs some love and one of the issues is that the airbags blew. Seems like the airbag in steering wheel won't be hard but I'm curious what's involved in the passenger airbag? Does that require a whole new top part of the dash? Is it a big plastic piece you have to order as 1 part or is there a wrap that can go over it?

Have you checked the quality of the accider repair or are you doing the accident repair?

I'll be doing most of the repair - the engine bay is empty - engine's (blown) removed but still together, and everything else from the engine bay is in a box. Checking it out in about 4 hours but rumor is it's a clean title however if there's any evidence of frame damage or repair I'll pass. If everything checks out then it'll basically be a car but with some assembly required. Other than that my biggest concern is unlabeled bolts or some small but necessary piece missing.
