Is it worth it to get aftermarket airbags?
Most of the time it’s not worth to get the after market ones instead of getting a car which already has them. Most aftermarket ABS will cost you upwards of 30k which won’t be as good as the factory fitted one. It will most probably void your warranty, too. Same is the case with the airbags.
Can you put airbags in a 1993 Honda Civic?
If you want airbags, buy a car with factory air bags. You could probably do it, but it would require a new dashboard from a year that had airbags – if it would fit in the 1993 Civic. Even if it could be done…it can’t…it would never work properly. I don’t think you’d ever get all the parts in place, nor could you get everything put back together.
How old does a car have to be to have airbags?

Can you buy air bags from the factory?
Seriously, If you can afford to buy after market air bags (Even if you could find them) then you can afford, or should buy a car that has them from the factory as original equipment.
