Which ones? Steering wheel ones are a few bolts and cables while dashboard and side pillars require some finesse. You may also need to reset or "flash" the ECU to reset any SRS lights.

It's the required inspection afterwards that takes the most money.

Steering wheel and passenger only. I was planning on just buying a new module and having a mechanic friend reset the computer.

It's pretty easy, just some bolts and connections
Might have to hit it a few times with a hammer to loosen it tho

Correct, if insurance or any other bureau/agency reported the VIN to the DMV as totaled or has frame damage, it will need an advanced inspection to pass and receive its Reconstructed Title (aka R Title, aka $3500 350Z's)
Usually airbags deploying will be an auto write off, or instant total, but there are cases where your adjuster is cool/stupid.
I couldn't give a shit about regulation, so I'd just replace them with junk yard parts and go to my local lick n' stick. Good luck, OP.

Did you buy a crashed car? If so, why the fuck would you do that?

It was given to me for free, all it needs is just the airbags replaced but the people are rich so they just got a new car and I'm debating if I should do it myself because google is telling me airbag replacement is expensive.

What car?

I don't want to say out of fear of being laughed off this board, but nothing's wrong with the internals or external, it apparently got tapped just hard enough to pop the air bags. I'm mechanically inclined enough to do it, I'm just lazy and work a lot but if the price is too high for the work involved I'm just gonna do it.
