disabling air bags

[ald42]

i need to disable the air bags so i can remove the front fascia to repair stone chips. it looks like i need to pull fuse #18 in the under dash fuse panel is there anything else i need to disconnect/do? it looks like this fuse is for all the air bags? i'm also replacing the grille with the chrome one from the platinum edition.

I would disconnect both battery cables and let the car sit for about 1/2 hour to disappate the airbag system. The airbag system 'saves' a certain amount of charge so it is able to deploy if the battery and/or cables are destroyed in an accident.
