Monogram to GT86 is where it's at!

Where are people purchasing this from? The only place I could find was nigel-jdm, but it does not show the part #. Would like to get the direct dual-stage replacement SU003-03413

Hey, did you ever find out where to get the dual stage bag from? I'm in the same pit and I can't figure out where to get this airbag 😔

did you blow yours? if your swapping airbags, just move the charge to the new airbag.

This is not necessary. All you need to do is install the bomb into the new airbag cover. I recently purchased for 400 GBP from the UK on ebay. The seller has 4 still for sale, all taken from new cars stripped and converted to track.

seems like a waste of money to me
