You're close. I bet it'll be $12k before it's fixed. You need to figure out the value of the car.

Both air bags off typically means a total on cars of this value. Insurance companies don't like replacing air bags. Scares the crap out of me if I get a light t-bone and my side impacts go off.

Is that the quote the insurance adjuster came up with, or is it from the shop you decided to take it to? I'm asking because insurance adjusters will almost always lowball you when it comes to the repair amount. My insurance adjuster quoted me $6,500, where as the shop quoted $11,300 after the tear down.
