if she's not going to WEAR the seatbelt,then she shouldn't worry about
replacing it....

they don't do any good if you aren't wearing them.

Anytime a airbag deploys on a 1998 up Civic you have to replace the deployed
bag, sealt belts and buckles and the SRS unit located in the front of the
console. It will have yellow connectors.

Ouch, that is a lot of stuff to replace when an airbag deploys in
addition to having to repair the car. I guess I can count my lucky
stars that my insurance company totaled out my 2007 Accord in December
after I got hit head on by someone making a left turn in front of me.
With the body/frame damage alone, they estimated over $18,000 was needed
to fix the car. Then there was an issue with the
engine/transmission/electrical stuff that they really didn't want to get
into.
