How do i remove the airbags sensors. Im not really concerned about the airbags for now, but i want to remove the 2 round sensors in the front. Has anybody done it or relocarte them. They look stupid when looking through the invader grill. Can i just cut the wires to them, or will they go off or something?

If you're going to remove them(and I don't recommend it unless you no longer have airbags), then I would first pull the battery ground cable(and make sure it can't come in contact with the negative battery post.) Then wait at least 90 seconds(The Toyota BGB says 90 seconds...that's where I got that number.) Then, just to be safe, I'd disconnect both airbags from inside the steering wheel(3 T30 Torx bits hold it on) and behind the glovebox(which is held on by 5 philips head screws.) Then, I'd disconnect the harnesses from the air bag sensors(cutting wires doesn't make much sense) and pull the sensors.

Seriously though, unless you don't have airbags, it's not a bright idea to pull the sensors. Like others said, airbags can save your life. I don't have them, but that's only because my driver's airbag was damaged so I pulled it.
