A Little Shook (Acciendet)
Ok. Been there, done that (not the 24hr thing, the crashing thing).
You need:
SRS unit - small ECU like unit under the radio. pull the radio door, pull the radio, and you should be able to access it
Drivers side airbag plus, the cover - IIRC, you have to drop the steering column, separate the housing and you should be able to remove it. While its out, do NOT turn the steering wheel - theres a SRS Reel that needs to be kept in the same position or you WILL damage it.
Passenger side airbag, plus cover - pull the kick panels, be careful -in all likelihood it'll break - but its fairly cheap so no worries. You need to remove the cover before you can access the bags.
Driver seatbelt retractor
passengers seatbelt retractor - these are a PITA. You need to pull the seats, get the covers from the trunk out, and if you're lucky you'll be able to get it out.
You also need to google "reset ECU on Honda" and you should get a hit on what pins to cross... I don't remember it off the top of my head and don't want to give you bad info...its a PITA to do though, took me 3 tries. Be careful, since you can break your ECU if you cross the wrong pins.
--edit--
if you try to buy these items from the dealer, you need to provide your VIN or they won't give it to you. It'll probably end up costing ~5K+ last time I tried pricing the shit out.
If you buy these from people turning their S's to race spec, it'll still cost you ~800 if you're lucky. I got mine for ~$700 and change.

I'm going to be rude... forgive me.
If within 24 hours you have an accident. I am going to suggest you're not qualified to repaire key safety equipment in the car. For your sake, a passenger or God forbid the next owner - get it done right and don't do it yourself.
Best of luck. Autox/track days will be a life saver for you. Seriously.

You my friend are looking at a pretty nice chunk of change for a repair, and not sure but some cars once the bags blow the car trips a fuel shutoff so the car wont start until its reset. Let me know what parts you need, my friend gets me parts at cost so if feasible i can price the list out and give you the total to call and order. Its actually good this happened though. Im not going to play dad or be a troll, but if you are now stuck paying a few k in repairs you are going to be more careful and mindful in the future. Just pm the parts you need and ill contact my friend and try and help out
