Are you asking if an aftermarket bumper will cause an issue with whether or not the airbag will deploy differently? From what I understand the airbag being deployed in a collision is determined by speed and different factors like inertial forces by the PCM. When a sensor is acted on by a force that is greater than the threshold that it is set for, it could cause the airbag to deploy, along with other sensors in the system.

What bumpers are you looking at?


I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas

There should not be any significant effect on airbags. Sensors are not in the bumper. If the threshold for deceleration is met, along with other factors, the airbags will deploy.
