Yeah man, that's rough.. sorry to hear about your troubles. the problem with used airbags is that most places will not ship them *legally* since they are hazardous.. they can blow at anytime in transit.. here's a quick read.

good luck..
but to answer your question about what I think, I wouldnt put that thing on my car.. sounds like its partially deployed already.. you want that thing to save your life- not take it! one small bump and BAM! sheit, even on installation, you need to be very carful handling the yellow harnesses.. and make sure the battery is disconnected.. again, good luck
