First you need the OEM service manual for correct procedures. Second it is illegal to install a used airbag. It is also illegal for junk yards to sell used airbags. I would definately replace the impact sensers. I don't know about the SRS module but it is conceivable that it will not allow reset after an impact.

Is it legal from state to state? In Kansas, you can buy/install used airbags. I just got a handful of quotes from salvage yards. They are also all over eBay. Just wondering...thanks

Absolutely nothing illegal about buying, selling, or installing used airbags in WA state, I bought some for another car of mine from a junkyard, had to go through state patrol inspection too and I had to show them the receipts. I saved hundreds of dollars by buying both front airbags used.

On the Airbag module, I know that all GM ones are one-time-use-only items, and have to be procured new and then programmed by the dealer. Not sure on Honda's procedure though.

Replacing the impact sensor is optional IMO - it is an accelerometer and should not have sustained any damage - I would only replace it if it was physically damaged by the accident which in your case I highly doubt.
