ZZE Corolla safety add ons

[stevo1210]

I want to add some "safety" features to my 2003 ZZE Corolla Seca Ascent.

First I want a passengers airbag, then ABS and also that warning thing about the seatbelt on the passenegr side.

I know that when my parents bought the car, there was an option for the "safety pack" at a cost of $1500 or so which would include these features on the Ascent.

Now I'm wondering if it can actually be done... because with the passenger side airbag, I'm wondering if I need to get a new dash shell as well? because I can see ripples on the area where the passenger airbag is supposed to go so i suspect that area has to be cut out to put an airbag in?

As for ABS, I think the brake lines need to be re-routed? I just hope that all the appropriate wires are there already...

Anyway, what do you guys think? can it be done?

I was actually thinking of doing that, but I don't really want to cause I only have 60000KMs or so on my ZZE and it was purchased brand new, so its never been in an accident either...

You could always try the wreckers and see if the have the parts but it may cost too much to put in. I assume it would be not feasible to do it.
